MegaRAID SATA+SAS Entry Product Line
Key Advantages
■■
MegaRAID SATA+SAS entry controller cards allow small to medium business (SMB) owners
and gaming enthusiasts to enjoy the latest RAID technology at affordable prices with low
power consumption. This product line delivers trusted MegaRAID reliability with minimal

Enterprise Ready
Along with an extensive list of enterprise RAID capabilities, the 9341 series now offers
advanced drive diagnostic technologies. 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.

Typical Uses
■■
Direct-attach, internal SAS or SATA
hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid state
drives (SSDs)
High volume, “warm data” access
Simple Migration to MegaRAID Enterprise Products
A unique feature of the MegaRAID SATA+SAS entry line is the ability to migrate from these
simple, yet powerful RAID 5 controllers to the more full-featured MegaRAID product lines.
Users can simply plug in a new controller to recognize and import the existing array without
requiring any reconfiguration. Plus, a single management client provides a consistent user
interface to manage any MegaRAID SATA, SAS or SSD array.

12Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS and SATA
hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 12Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver
significant performance improvements in both read and write applications compared to their
predecessors.
