SCSI (SAS) 9690SA Serial Attached SATA II 9650E RAID Controller SATA II PCI-X RAID Controllers SATA II PCI Express RAID Controllers 3Ware SideCar Parallel ATA RAID Controllers RAID Management Software Cables RAID Drive Cage 3ware Main PCI Express to Serial ATA II Hardware RAID Controllers Featuring Red Hot RAID 6 3ware® 9650SE AMCC's 3ware 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver industry-leading RAID 6 and RAID 5 performance, robust fault tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities. A PCI Express host interface, Multi-lane™ connectivity, StorSwitch™ architecture and sophisticated SATA II features drive this unrivaled performance. The Best Keeps Getting Better The 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA II RAID controller pushes AMCC's established leadership in RAID controller performance to new heights. While 3ware controllers continue to lead the market in RAID 5 performance, the 3ware 9650SE outshines the competition as the new standard bearer for RAID 6 performance, delivering over 800MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes. Red Hot RAID 6 3ware's parallel XOR RAID 6 parity generation algorithm maximizes RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enabled 9650SE controllers deliver unequaled RAID 6 performance 3ware 9650SE Selection Guide Model 9650SE-2LP 9650SE-4LPML 9650SE-8LPML Form Factor Low Profiler Low Profile Low Profile Port Count 2 4 8 PCI Express Lanes 1 4 4 Raid Levels 0,1, Single Disk,JBOD 0,1,5,10,Single Disk,JBOD 0,1,5,10,Single Disk,JBOD Onboard Memory 128 MB DDR2 533 256 MB DDR2 533 256 MB DDR2 533 Connector Type Discrete Multi-lane Multi-lane BBU Support No Yes Yes Model 9650SE-12ML 9650SE-16ML 9650SE-24M8 Form Factor Full Height Full Height Full Height Port Count 12 16 24 PCI Express Lanes 8 8 8 Raid Levels 0,1,5,6,10,50 Single Disk,JBOD 0,1,5,6,10,50,Single Disk,JBOD 0,1,5,6,10,50,Single Disk,JBOD Onboard Memory 256 MB DDR2 533 256 MB DDR2 533 256 MB DDR2 533 Connector Type Multi-lane Multi-lane Multi-lane BBU Support Yes Yes Yes * All models are RoHS Compliant 3ware 9650SE Features • 8th-generation StorSwitch™ non-blocking switched architecture. • On-board I/O RISC processor and RAID offload provides true hardware RAID.       - SCSI device driver model to take advantage of the benefits of SCSI using        inexpensive Serial ATA drives . • Bootable array support for greater fault tolerance. • Variable stripe size for performance tuning by application. • 64-bit LBA support. • ATA pass-through mode support. • Up to 512MB DDR2 533 memory with ECC protection.
