ASUS PIKE II 3108-8i/16PD/2G PCI Express 2 GB DDR3 12 Gbit/s SAS/SATA RAID Controller Card

The ASUS PIKE II 3108-8i/16PD/2G (90SC07N0-M0UAY0) is a low-profile, 8-port internal SAS/SATA RAID controller designed for high-density server storage. It connects SAS and SATA drives via a PCI Express x2 interface and supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbit/s. The card allows administrators to balance disk redundancy and performance across various types of storage media.

The controller features a Broadcom SAS3108 chipset for dedicated storage processing. It is compatible with both Windows and Linux environments and draws power directly from the motherboard's expansion slot. Measuring 152.4 mm by 50.8 mm, the card fits standard low-profile server chassis and ensures efficient array management.

• RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support: provides multiple configurations for balancing data redundancy and read/write speeds.
• 152.4 mm x 50.8 mm dimensions: fits within the physical constraints of standard server expansion slots.
• SATA I, II, and III compatibility: ensures functionality with multiple generations of Serial ATA drives.
• 2 GB DDR3 internal memory: acts as a dedicated hardware cache to optimize controller throughput.
• SAS 3.0 standard: enables 12 Gbit/s communication for enterprise-grade SAS storage.
• Internal SAS/SATA output interface: manages drive connectivity through dedicated internal cabling.
