## Summary description

Lenovo Broadcom MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i is a PCI Express x8 RAID controller supporting SAS and SATA drives with a 12 Gbit/s transfer rate. It provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, and includes 1024 MB internal memory for caching. Designed as a full-height (low-profile) PCIe card, it runs from 12 V and suits enterprise servers and storage arrays requiring high-throughput, redundant disk management.

## Long description

Lenovo Broadcom MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i PCIe x8 12 Gbit/s 1 GB RAM Full-height is a hardware RAID controller for server and storage environments that require high-throughput connectivity for SAS and SATA drives. The card implements a PCI Express x8 host interface and supports 12 Gbit/s link rates, multiple RAID levels and on-board cache to accelerate I/O and improve data protection for mixed HDD/SSD arrays. It is supplied in a full-height/low-profile form factor and is powered from the server 12 V rail.
Advantages
The controller offloads RAID processing from the host CPU, enabling predictable performance for enterprise workloads. On-board 1 GB cache reduces write latency and improves burst throughput while support for hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 provides a range of options for balancing performance, capacity and redundancy. Compatibility with both SAS and SATA drives and support for SSDs make the card suitable for tiered storage and mixed-drive configurations. The PCIe x8 interface delivers sufficient bandwidth for multi-drive arrays and the 12 Gbit/s signalling standard increases throughput compared with previous-generation controllers.
Suitable for
Enterprise server environments requiring hardware RAID for data integrity and redundancy
Storage arrays using SAS and SATA drives including SSD caching tiers
Virtualization hosts and database servers with high I/O requirements
Backup servers and archival systems needing RAID 6 or RAID 60 resilience
Key specifications
Host interface: PCI Express x8
Supported drive interfaces: SAS and Serial ATA (SATA)
Maximum link rate: 12 Gbit/s per port
Supported RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
On-board cache memory: 1 GB
Form factor: full-height with low-profile bracket option
Power: 12 V supply from server chassis
How to use
Install the controller into an available PCIe x8 (or higher) slot on the server motherboard, secure it with the bracket and connect SAS/SATA backplane or cables to the card’s external/internal connectors as required by your chassis. Power on the server and enter the controller BIOS/firmware utility during POST to configure arrays, initialize disks and set caching policies. Install vendor-provided management utilities and drivers in the host operating system to enable advanced monitoring, firmware updates and online administration. Follow standard server maintenance procedures when replacing drives or modifying RAID configurations to avoid data loss.
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, use enterprise-class SAS or SATA drives and keep firmware for both the controller and attached drives up to date. Allocate cache and write policy settings according to workload characteristics (write-back for high-performance write workloads with battery or NV cache protection; write-through for environments prioritizing maximum data safety). Regularly monitor drive health and array status with the vendor management tools and schedule backups before performing major array changes.
