12Gbps SAS/SATA RAID Adapter

The Microsemi 2294800-R is a 12Gbps Gen 3 SAS/SATA RAID adapter built on a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface. It provides eight internal SAS ports through two SFF-8643 connectors on a low-profile plug-in card. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and ADM configurations. It ships with a vented low-profile bracket for compact chassis installations.

Suits servers needing eight internal 12Gbps lanes

This adapter fits administrators who want hardware RAID across up to eight SAS or SATA drives inside a 2.5-inch by 6.6-inch form factor. It works with PC and Linux platforms and carries RoHS certification. Builders who require external port connectivity or a different host interface should look at other products. The three-year limited warranty covers the adapter itself.

PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface decides fit

The card installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, so the motherboard or riser must provide that physical and electrical connection. Without an available x8 lane the adapter cannot operate at its rated 12Gbps throughput. Verify slot availability and bracket clearance before purchase.
