The LSI SAS 3081E-R card provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 3 Gb/s ports, driving up to 244 SAS and SATA devices. This card offers dynamic SAS functionality including dual-port drive redundancy and SATA compatibility. Utilizing SFF-8087 miniSAS connectors, the low-profile SAS 3081E-R is an excellent fit for 1U/2U servers driving up to 4800 MB/s full-duplex.
The SAS 3081E-R also offers Integrated RAID 0, 1 and 1E for reliable data protection with high-availability. Furthermore, by reducing RAID code overhead, this HBA delivers the greatest internal READ/WRITE performance available, making it perfect for medium to high-capacity internal storage applications.

The LSI SAS3081E-R doubles the performance of today's dual channel Ultra320 SCSI HBAs by connecting an 8-lane 2.5Gb/s PCI Express bus with eight SAS/SATA ports. It also offers leading SAS and SATA RAID and non-RAID data off-load for medium to high-capacity internal server storage applications.
This user's guide is the primary reference for installing, configuring, and using the Fusion-MPT® (Message Processing Technology) firmware, device drivers, and utilities. The Fusion-MPT product encompasses Fusion-MPT firmware architecture, SCSI hardware architecture, Fibre Channel (FC) hardware architecture, Serial Attached SCSI architecture, and the operating system level device drivers that support these architectures.
RAID technology is widely used in the data center as a cost effective remote storage solution. As server performance continues to ramp at the pace of Moore's Law and storage capacity requirements continue a meteoric climb,
the interconnect for a host server system's connections to storage arrays is emerging as a critical factor in RAID performance.
