• Supported on System x3200 M2, x3250 M2, and x3350 servers

The ServeRAID BR10il SAS/SATA Controller is the ideal solution for all servers and workstations that need ultra-high-speed data transfer in disk connectivity for data backup and mission-critical applications.

Overview
The ServeRAIDâ„¢-BR10il SAS/SATA PCIe Controller (44X0411) delivers a solid-performing storage solution for upgrading simple-swap models to RAID 0, 1, and 1E capability. The RAID adapter kit contains the RAID 0, 1, and 1E controller and supporting hardware for SAS and SATA simple-swap hard drive configurations. It can be configured for two or four HDDs.

Intended specifically for the small to medium business (SMB) market, as well as departments of a large enterprise (LE), the solution is ideal for supporting server and workgroup applications where high levels of sustained read and write operations are required.

Features, functions, and key advantages:

• RAID levels: 0, 1, and 1E
• Up to 3 Gb/second of performance throughput for each port
• Global hot spare and rebuild
• 1064E controller
• 1 x4 internal mini-SAS SFF-8087 connector
• Supported utilities are MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), IBM Director, Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA), command line interface, and flash drive
• Supported on IBM System x3200 M2, x3250 M2, and x3350 servers
