This eighth-generation SAS RAID-on-Chip (ROC) is based on the industry-leading Fusion-MPT architecture and features Tri-Mode SerDes technology that enables a seamless operation of up to 16-wide direct-connect NVMe, SAS or SATA storage devices from any system design. Users will receive a 275% increase in RAID 5 Random Writes IOPs and a 100% increase in bandwidth over previous generations.

The Tri-Mode ROC device with 16-wide PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes provides SAS data transfer rates of 22.5, 12, 6Gb/s per lane and 6Gb/s SATA data transfer rates per lane. The high-port count ROC helps eliminate storage bottlenecks with support of x8, x4, x2, and x1 PCI Express® lanes and complies with the PCIe 4.0 specification, offering up to 6 million IOPS (random reads) and up to 900,000 IOPS in RAID (random writes).

• Balance protection and performance for critical applications with MegaRAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60
• Reduce EMI with Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) and protect confidential data with data encryption
• Detect and recover data corruption with T-10 Optical Support and T-10 End-to-End Data Protection (EEDP)
• Take advantage of 12Gb/s speeds while utilizing 6Gb/s drives and backplanes with DataBolt bandwidth aggregation technology
• Supports up to 2,000 SAS or SATA devices
• Incorporates advanced security features such as attestation (Explicit Trust) and hardware secure boot (which builds a Chain of Trust with succeeding software (Implicit Trust)
• Available only to OEMs through direct sales
