ServeRAID BR10i SAS/SATA Controller

The ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller provides an ideal solution for all servers requiring solid performance with RAID 0, 1 and 1E capability. This RAID adapter provides investment protection by supporting SAS and SATA hard drive and tape drive configurations.

The ServeRAID BR10i has the following specifications:

   * Low-profile MD2 half-length 2U form factor adapter card
   * Two internal x4 SFF-8087 connectors
   * PCI Express x8 host interface
   * SAS Controller: LSI 1068e
   * 3 Gbps per port data transfer rate
   * Supports SAS 3 Gbps and SATA 2
   * Cache: None
   * uEFI support
   * Maximum stripe size: 64 KB (fixed)
   * RAID levels : RAID 0, 1, 1E

SataIII/6Gbps drives can be used on this controller, but need the LSI P19 Sata3 package minimum to be listed as 3.0Gbps Link speed in the adapter BIOS.
