Eight-port 12 Gb/s RAID controller

The LSI MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i is a low-profile PCI Express 3.0 x8 card that provides eight internal SAS and SATA ports running at up to 12 Gb/s. It includes 1 GB of DDR3 1866 cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for servers and storage platforms that need hardware acceleration and data protection across up to 128 drives.

Check PCIe slot and bracket clearance

Verify that your server has a free PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and enough physical space for a 6.6" by 2.536" low-profile card. The board uses two horizontal mini-SAS SFF8643 connectors, so confirm your backplane or drive cages accept that connector style and that cable routing will not interfere with adjacent components. Operating system support covers Windows Server 2003 through 2012, Linux, Solaris x86, Netware, FreeBSD and VMware.

Low-profile build with horizontal mini-SAS

The card ships with a low-profile bracket included, letting it fit in 1U and other slim chassis without a separate bracket purchase. Horizontal SFF8643 ports keep cables running parallel to the motherboard, which eases routing in dense enclosures. Onboard DDR3 cache is soldered, so there is no module to seat or replace, and the controller preserves performance with existing 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s drives while supporting advanced software options for added features.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the cables needed to connect drives to the two mini-SAS SFF8643 ports?

The package contains the MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i card, a quick-install guide and a low-profile bracket; mini-SAS cables for the SFF8643 connectors are not included and must be purchased separately.

The card has 1 GB of DDR3 1866 cache — is that amount fixed or can it be upgraded?

The 1 GB DDR3 1866 cache is soldered on the board and cannot be expanded; choose this model if the built-in capacity meets your workload requirements.

The specification lists up to 12 Gb/s per port — what throughput can I expect with eight SAS drives in RAID 6?

Each of the eight internal ports runs at 12 Gb/s, so the controller can sustain the full 12 Gb/s lane speed to every drive in a RAID 6 array, limited only by the drives themselves and the PCIe 3.0 x8 host link.
