Seven new LSI MegaRAID controller models will be available with four or eight ports. Each controller is powered by the LSI SAS 2308 ASIC using 6Gb/s SAS technology and includes dual 800MHz PowerPC Processor cores with 1GB cache memory. Performance with models supporting MegaRAID Fast Path will top out above 465,000 IOPS, and offer 4-7.5x the performance of the next closest competitor. Three new LSI HBA models round out the announcement, providing connectivity for servers and appliances with internal storage and the ability to add external storage for high-bandwidth applications, offering up to 700,000 IOPS in either HDD or SSD environments.
