4-Port 6Gb/s PCIe 2.0 RAID Controller

The LSI 9260-4i is a MegaRAID SAS add-on card designed for internal storage expansion. It connects through an x8 lane PCI Express 2.0 slot and provides one Mini SAS SFF-8087 connector. An integrated LSISAS2108 RAID-on-Chip processor handles array operations with 512MB of DDR2-800 SDRAM cache.

Suited for SAS and SATA array builders

This controller supports up to 32 SATA or SAS drives and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Features include online capacity expansion, RAID level migration, patrol read and SafeStore encryption services. Builders needing more than four native ports or external connectivity should consider other solutions.

Key specification: x8 PCIe 2.0 host interface

The card requires an x8 lane PCI Express 2.0 slot for full host bandwidth. Each of the four ports delivers up to 6Gb/s data transfer. Verify your motherboard provides this slot type and physical clearance before purchase.
