Frequently Asked Questions
- How many drives can this controller support directly?
- It provides 8 ports for direct SAS/SATA drive connections.
- What”s the benefit of 1 ADM and 10 ADM RAID modes?
- Both modes add extra mirrored copies of data beyond standard RAID 1 and RAID 10, improving fault tolerance for critical workloads.
For Gen10 server environments where drive count and data protection both matter, the P408i-p SR gives administrators the port density and advanced RAID options to keep large storage arrays reliable under heavy demand.
