1.3 General Description
The MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers bring 6.0 Gb/s Serial
Attached SCSI and 3.0 Gb/s SATA II performance to host adapter,
workstation, and server designs. The controllers support internal storage
devices and external storage devices, which allow you to use a system
that supports enterprise-class SAS drives and desktop-class SATA II
drives. Each MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller can connect to
drives directly and can use expanders to connect to additional drives.
Simplified cabling between devices is an additional benefit.
