Our Enterprise Synthetic Workload Analysis includes profiles based on real-world tasks. Latency Standard Deviation (Read+Write Standard Deviation Averaged Together) Preconditioning and Primary Steady-State Tests:Īverage Latency (Read+Write Latency Averaged Together)

Our enterprise benchmark process preconditions each storage array into steady-state with the same workload the device will be tested with under a heavy load of 16 threads with an outstanding queue of 16 per thread, and then tested in set intervals in multiple thread/queue depth profiles to show performance under light and heavy usage.

Lsi megaraid storage manager 13.11.01.06 windows#
Windows Server 2012 Standard – 100GB Micron RealSSD P400e Boot SSD.Memory – 256GB (16 x 16GB) 1333Mhz Micron DDR3 Registered RDIMMs.SuperStorage Server 2027R-AR24NV Test Server Specifications: The 9361-series does not support external connectors, so for JBOD solutions you would need to step back to SAS2 cards such as the LSI 9286-8e for now. The two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connectors connects the controller by cable to SAS drives or SATA drives. The 9361-8i can connect up to 128 SATA or SAS drives with its eight internal 12Gb/s SATA and SAS ports and can fit into rack-mounted servers with low-profile HHHL form factor and side-mounted SAS connectors. Once this happens, the MegaRAID controller immediately begins drive diagnostics in order to discover if the drive has actually failed and/or if it can be restored this is a very handy feature for users looking to save time and money. When a physical drive failure occurs, it goes into “shield state”. OS Support: Microsoft Windows Server 2012/8 & 7/2008/Vista/2003/XP, Linux, SolarisTM (x86), Netware, FreeBSD, and VMwareĪt the heart of the LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i lays the LSISAS3108 dual core RoC controller, coupled with 1GB of 1866MHz DDRIII SDRAM, which offers data protection and performance.Regulatory Certifications: EN55022, EN55024, EN60950, EN 6, EN 6 FCC Class A, Class B UL1950 UL CSA C22.2 VCCI RRL for MIC BSMI C-tick.Operating Temperature: Maximum ambient: Controller Card: 55☌, with optional CacheVault accessory (LSICVM02): 55☌.Cache Protection: Optional CacheVault Flash Module (LSICVM02).Processor: LSISAS3108 dual core RAID on Chip (ROC).Bus Interface: x8 lane PCI Express 3.0 compliant.Connectors: 2 x mini-SAS SFF8643 internal connectors (horizontal mount).LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS RAID Specifications: LSI also offers the 9341-4i and 9341-8i which are 4 and 8 port internal cards that support fewer drives and do not have onboard cache. The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS RAID is shipping now, comes with a 3-year warranty and has a street price at $570.00. The 9361 also comes in a four port internal configuration, 9361-4i. The 9361-81 is part of the larger LSI 12Gb/s SAS RAID card family. With the 9361-8i, LSI is delivering a SAS RAID controller that has a high data transfer rate of 12Gb/s, along with backward compatibility for 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s (allow for up to 128 3Gb/s, 6Gb/s, or 12Gb/s SATA and SAS devices), supports RAID levels 0,1,5,6,10, 50, and 60, and enterprise data protection though CacheVault which allows a drive to be placed in shield state if there is a physical drive failure, to determine if the drive actually failed and can be restored. LSI and Adaptec are fiercely competing with one another in the emerging SAS3 space, each pushing the bar higher with every release. LSI first-to-market 12Gb/s SAS solutions, such as the 9361-8i, are geared for the performance and security demands of next generation of enterprise data storage. Along with superior data transfer rates, the 9361-8i offers enterprise-class data protection and security and supports CacheVault flash cache protection. With twice the maximum data transfer rate of 6Gb/s SAS solutions, the 9361-8i delivers enough bandwidth to fully saturate the PCI Express Gen3 bus.

The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS3 RAID controller is a 12Gb/s storage adapter featuring PCIe 3.0 host interface, 1GB DDRIII cache memory, 1.2GHz PowerPC 476 dual core 12Gb/s ROC, and 8 12Gb/s SATA+SAS ports.
