Protect your critical business data with the next generation SAS RAID Adapter.

Supporting the ThinkServer RD230 and ThinkServer RD240, the new ThinkServer RAID 700 Adapter (67Y2646) and the ThinkServer RAID 700 Battery (67Y2647), provide a new level of reliability, availability, and performance to businesses that are facing storage challenges driven by unprecedented data growth. The ThinkServer RAID 700 Battery also supports the ThinkServer RAID 700 II.

With data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port and 512MB 800MHZ DDR II SDRAM, the ThinkServer RAID 700 Adapter bring users new features and improved performance, while continuing to support all the features of the previous 3Gb/sSATA+SAS generation.

6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver significant performance improvements in both read and write applications as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors. Other new features of the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers include greater signal integrity using Decision Feedback Equalization, support for more sophisticated SAS topologies using Expander Self-discovery/Self-configuration, and additional safeguards to enhance data protection.
