Introduction The MegaRAID SAS 9361-24i, with twenty-four internal ports in a lowprofile* form factor, delivers two 1.2 GHz PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 4 GB cache memory. Powered by the SAS3324 dual-core ROC, with 24 native SAS/SATA ports, the 9361-2i controller can take full advantage of the latest PCI Express 3.0 interface to provide higher performance and increased throughput. The 12 Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9361-2i is designed for configuring high-density storage servers with up to 24 drives via direct connection inside the box or up to 240 drives by leveraging SAS expander technology. Enterprise Data Protection The MegaRAID SAS 9361-24i RAID controller supports data retention by using NAND flash memory down on the controller, backed up by a CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02). The CVPM02 module is a supercapacitor pack that provides power for the backup of your data in case of host power loss or server failure. The CVPM02 module is connected to the controller remotely by cable. The data is backed up to the NAND flash memory on the MegaRAID controller board. Standard support for the most popular RAID levels, including RAID 5 and RAID 6, further strengthens the data protection capabilities of the MegaRAID SAS 9361-24i. A new enterprise feature employed by the 12 Gb/s MegaRAID SAS controllers is advanced drive diagnostic technology. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is placed in shield state and the MegaRAID controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves customers time, money and lost compute time associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive returns.
