Eight-port SAS RAID controller

The Graviton 9240-8i adds eight internal SAS channels through a PCI-Express 2.0 slot. It targets builders who need hardware RAID for up to sixteen drives without a dedicated backplane. Buyers who want more than sixteen drives or who require on-board cache memory should look elsewhere.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The card offloads RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 calculations from the host CPU, keeping throughput steady during long rebuilds or parity checks. Each of the two internal four-lane connectors runs at 6 Gb/s, so aggregate bandwidth scales with the number of active spindles.

Passive cooling and modest power draw

A green circuit board with no fan relies on case airflow, so noise stays at the level of the surrounding system. The PCI-Express 2.0 interface limits peak power to what the slot provides, making the card suitable for compact enclosures with restricted auxiliary connectors.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 9240-8i draw when running all day?

The card uses a PCI-Express 2.0 slot and has no onboard cache, so its power draw stays low during continuous operation.

What must I already have inside the case for the 9240-8i to work?

A free PCI-Express 2.0 slot and two internal SAS cables for the 2x4 connectors.

Will the 9240-8i run alongside my older 3 Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 6Gb/s SAS interface negotiates down to 3 Gb/s, so legacy drives work at their rated speed.
