It has been awhile since LSI's MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i was available (see SAS RAID Controller Handles Hierarchical Storage ) but I have finally got my hands on one (Fig. 1) . The eight channel, 6 Gbit/s RAID controller is based on the LSIAS2108 RAID-on-Chip technology. The controller contains 512 Mbytes of DDR2 RAM. EUFI support is standard but battery backup support is optional. The controller was delivered with LSI's CacheCade Pro 2.0 and FastPath software on-board along support for RAID 5 and 6. These are extra options so it is possible to install what your system requires. For example, if RAID 1 is sufficient but you want SSD caching support then CacheCade is all that is required. FastPath is designed to optimize SSD arrays. As usual, your mileage may vary and most installations will concentrate on one type of configuration based on the application mix. For example, a hig...
