The part number SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z refers to the Sun Storage 6 Gb/s SAS RAID PCIe Host Bus Adapter, a high-performance storage controller designed for use in enterprise-level systems. It features support for both SATA-300 and the latest SAS 2.0 technologies. This adaptable solution is configured specifically for RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) environments, providing enhanced data redundancy and performance.
This host bus adapter connects via a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, which ensures fast data throughput between the controller and the server's system board. It supports a maximum link speed of 6 Gb/s for SAS-based storage interfaces, while also being backward compatible with 3 Gb/s SATA devices. Whether you are utilising high-capacity SATA drives or high-speed SAS drives, the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z is capable of managing both, offering flexibility in how storage arrays can be configured.
For users requiring RAID functionality, this controller offers provision for creating RAID levels such as basic RAID 0 for striping or RAID 1 for mirroring, among other configurations. This provides increased data security and performance scalability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from database management to virtual servers. With its robust RAID capabilities, this controller is designed to support mission-critical workloads where data integrity is paramount.
This product is ideal for large-scale data storage systems seeking to balance performance imperatives with redundancy across multiple drives while leveraging the PCIe 2.0 architecture. The ease of integration and fault-tolerance features make it a formidable addition to enterprise storage infrastructures.
