LSI's multi-lane design enables highly reliable & streamlined enterprise-class SATA storage solutions by greatly reducing the number of cables needed to connect controllers, backplanes, & standard SATA drives. The multi-lane SATA cable/connection system is fast, secure, simple, & clutter free. It combines the RAID controller's four SATA ports into a single locked connection. Four lanes of 3 Gbps or 6 Gbps SATA traffic travel through just one cable from the RAID controller to the system backplane or to up to four hard drives with a breakout cable.
