Product Brief
3ware® SAS 9750-4i
Four-Port 6Gb/s PCI Express^® SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card
Unprecedented power in multi-stream RAID environments delivers
high-performance and reliable data protection
Expand Your Horizon
LSI 3ware SATA+SAS RAID controllers provide
a new level of reliability, availability, and
performance to businesses that are facing
storage challenges, particularly in sequential
I/O intensive and multi-stream environments.
This 3ware controller, great for inside-the-box
connectivity, employs the latest in LSI RAID-on-
Chip (ROC) technology and provides a higher
standard of data protection and performance.
Offering data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per
port, the latest generation of 3ware SATA+SAS
controllers provide many new features while
also ensuring investment protection for existing
SATA and SAS implementations. LSI delivers
unprecedented power in multi-stream RAID
environments where performance, redundancy,
and data protection are most important.
6Gb/s SAS Advantage
6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compati-
bility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 3Gb/s SATA
drives. In addition, 6Gb/s 3ware controllers
deliver significant performance improvements
in both read and write applications regardless
of drive speed. StorSave™ strengthens array
performance during peak usage by allowing
the controller to use both controller cache
and disk cache for RAID operations. Other
new features of the 6Gb/s 3ware SATA+SAS
controller cards include greater signal integrity
using Decision Feedback Equalization, support
for more sophisticated SAS topologies using
Expander Self-discovery/Self-configuration,
and additional safeguards to enhance
data protection.
StreamFusion™+ Performance
3ware’s advanced algorithms allow for
optimized reads and writes in multi-stream
environments. StreamFusion+ enables higher
throughput even in degraded modes to
deliver a superior standard of data protection
and to boost performance. It is the result
of countless hours of engineering aimed
at delivering breakthroughs in high-load
applications and providing enhanced features
and functionality in all environments. Focusing
on the latest technology trends and customer
requirements, StreamFusion+ firmware
reaffirms our commitment to customer success
and industry leadership.
