The LSI SAS3080X-R card provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 3 Gb/s ports, driving up to 122 SAS and SATA devices. The host bus adapter supports multiple configurations of SAS and SATA devices running RAID 0, 1, 1E or 10E by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133 MHz bus with two internal x4 SFF-8484 SAS connectors. The SAS3080X-R demonstrates a significant advantage over parallel SCSI in providing 2400 MB/s external data throughput and cost optimization of SAS and SATA drives.

The LSI Logic SAS3080X-R card enables high-throughput control to internal direct attach storage (DAS) arrays through 8 internal 3Gb/s ports, driving any number of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) devices. The host bus adapter supports internal server storage HDDs and enclosures by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus with 2 internal x4 SFF-8484 SAS connectors. The SAS3080X-R provides 2400MB/s throughput; a significant advantage over parallel SCSI and the maximum internal bandwidth available for both SAS and SATA drives.
LSI SAS/SATA HBAs are able to connect to both SATA and SAS hard disk drives, allowing for tiered storage that optimizes costs and performance. This document compares the LSI and Adaptec product offerings.
