SAS 9361-4i
High Performance 12Gb/s PCI Express SATA+SAS RAID Controller
Unmatched RAID Performance for Next-Generation Servers and Storage
Key Features
■■
The explosive growth of data in cloud and enterprise datacenters is driving the need for a higher
performance storage interface to speed the ability of critical applications to access data. Avago
first-to-market 12Gb/s SAS solutions are designed to deliver the performance and data protection
capabilities required for the most demanding next-generation server and storage platforms.
Offering up to double the data transfer rate of 6Gb/s SAS solutions, 12Gb/s SAS allows the SAS
infrastructure to deliver bandwidth that can fully utilize that of PCI Express
®
3.0 with a single
controller card. The MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i, with four internal ports, delivers two 1.2GHz PowerPC
®
processor cores and a 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory. Powered by the
LSI SAS 3108 dual-core ROC, the 9361-4i controller includes the latest PCI Express 3.0 and 12Gb/s
SAS technology and helps users to support increased scaling of hard disk drives (HDDs) and
maximize the performance benefits of solid state drives (SSDs).

Key Advantages
■■
Enterprise Data Protection
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6, and
CacheVault
®
Flash cache protection module, further strengthen the data protection capabilities
of the MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i. A new enterprise feature employed by the 12Gb/s MegaRAID SAS
controllers is advanced drive diagnostic technology. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive
is placed in a shielded state and the MegaRAID controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the
drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves customers time, money and lost compute time
associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive returns.
