IBM ServeRAID-6i+ Ultra320 SCSI RAID Controller

The IBM ServeRAID-6i+ is a low-profile plug-in card that adds Ultra320 SCSI RAID capability to PC platforms through a PCI-X host interface. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 1E and 10 for data redundancy or performance. Maximum data transfer rate reaches 320 MB/s. The card is supplied new.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This controller suits administrators maintaining legacy IBM servers that require a PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter with zero-channel architecture. It is not for buyers whose servers lack a PCI-X slot or need a different host interface. It is not for systems that do not support the listed RAID levels or the low-profile form factor.

Deciding specification: PCI-X host interface

The single specification that decides fitment is the PCI-X host interface. The card only operates in a PCI-X slot, so the target server must provide one. If the server uses a different bus architecture, this controller will not install or function.

Questions about this item

What does the 320 MB/s maximum data transfer rate mean when the ServeRAID-6i+ is installed in a server?

The 320 MB/s figure is the peak throughput of the Ultra320 SCSI bus; sustained performance depends on the attached drives and PCI-X bus load.

How does the PCI-X host interface affect the controller's practical bandwidth?

The PCI-X slot provides the pathway to the system; its clock speed and width determine whether the 320 MB/s SCSI rate can be fully utilised.

Will the low-profile plug-in card fit in a standard-height server chassis?

The card is low-profile, so it requires a low-profile bracket or a chassis that accepts half-height cards for proper mounting.
