The MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP, a second generation SAS / SATA RAID adapter from LSI, addresses demands in a cost-effective, yet powerful internal RAID solution for entry-level server and small office environments. The MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP adapter features the LSISAS1078 IC, a powerful I/O storage engine that transparently performs all data protection, data checking, and restoration tasks.
This low-profile adapter offers eight internal 3Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) ports on two SFF8087 mini multi-lane connectors, 667Mhz DDRII write cache, and a PCI Express host interface. Furthermore, system builders can choose high performance SAS disks or low-cost, high-capacity SATA drives - or a combination of both - for greater system design flexibility. The 8708ELP offers support for both SAS expanders as well as SATA native command queuing (NCQ). Key MegaRAID features include: - RAID 6 as well as RAID 0, 1 & 5
- RAID spans 10, 50 & 60
