The LSI SAS3081E-R card provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 3 Gb/s ports, driving up to 244 SAS and SATA devices. This card offers dynamic SAS functionality including dual-port drive redundancy and SATA compatibility. Utilizing SFF-8087 miniSAS connectors, the low-profile SAS3081E-R is an excellent fit for 1U/2U servers driving up to 4800 MB/s full-duplex.
The SAS3081E-R also offers Integrated RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10E for reliable data protection with high-availability. Furthermore, by reducing RAID code overhead, this HBA delivers the greatest internal READ/WRITE performance available, making it perfect for medium to high-capacity internal storage applications.

The LSI SAS3081E-R doubles the performance of today's dual channel Ultra320 SCSI HBAs by connecting an 8-lane 2.5Gb/s PCI Express bus with eight SAS/SATA ports. It also offers leading SAS and SATA RAID and non-RAID data off-load for medium to high-capacity internal server storage applications.
This document is the user's guide for the LSI Logic PCI Express to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters, referred to as LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters. It contains a functional description of the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters as well as physical and electrical specifications. It also contains instructions for installing the host adapters and for connecting SAS
devices.
RAID technology is widely used in the data center as a cost effective remote storage solution. As server performance continues to ramp at the pace of Moore's Law and storage capacity requirements continue a meteoric climb,
the interconnect for a host server system's connections to storage arrays is emerging as a critical factor in RAID performance.
