Areca ARC-1226-8i 8Int SAS/SATA RAID PCIe 3.0
Areca ARC-1226-8i internal PCIe 3.0 RAID controllers are a cost-effective solution for connecting up to 4/8 12 Gb/s SAS peripherals. The 12 Gb/s SAS interface is designed for backward compatibility with 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s SAS/SATA hard drives. The 12 Gb/s SAS interface supports both 12 Gb/s SAS drives for data-intensive applications and SATA 6 Gb/s drives for low-cost bulk reference data storage. ARC-1216-4i/4x and ARC-1226-8i/8x RAID Controllers only support direct connection of 4/8 SAS/SATA drives with no expansion support. The ARC-12×6 series supports 1GB of onboard DDR3-1600 SDRAM by default.
