The 8-port Fujitsu D2616 SAS/SATA RAID controller sets standards in the fields of speed & data security for internal server memories. With a data transfer of up to 6 Gb/s per port the PRIMEGY modular RAID controller family is extended to included the powerful technology. The RAID stack is based on the LSI Mega RAID & offers high data throughput, a comprehensive error tolerance function & user-friendly management options. Management of the controller is integrated seamlessly into the FTS management concept. All controller functions are supported by the FTS Server View RAID manager. 6 Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3 Gb/s SAS as well as with 6 Gb/s & 3 Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 6 Gb/s Mega RAID controller will deliver significant performance improvements in both read & write applications, as compared with their 3 Gb/s predecessors. Other features of the 6 Gb/s SAS 2.0 controllers include greater signal integrity using decision feedback equalization, support for more sophisticated SAS topologies using expander self-discovery/self-configuration, & additional safeguards to enhance data protection. Due to the support of 64-bit addressing, a robust set of RAID features & demanding error tolerance functions this controller provides high RAID performance & data availability. Powerful online management service programs, which are simple to operate & quick to install, provide the administrator with unparalleled flexibility & access to the arrays. The RAID controller supports all of the important RAID levels including RAID 6 & 60. RAID 6 tolerates up to two simultaneous drive failures & thus also the option of managing non-recoverable media errors during rebuilds. This is especially advantageous if a large number of high-capacity hard disk drives are used for each RAID array.
