## Summary description

The Lenovo RAID 940-16I is a low-profile PCI Express x4 RAID controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. It offers RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 60 with a data transfer rate of 12 Gbit/s, ensuring efficient data management and storage solutions.

## Long description

The Lenovo RAID 940-16i is a low-profile PCIe 4.0 RAID controller designed for internal server drive connectivity. It supports 12 Gbit/s SAS and SATA drives and implements RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The adapter is a RAID-on-chip (ROC) card with dedicated processor and up to 8 GB of dedicated cache memory, intended for use in ThinkSystem servers and data-centric IT solutions.
Advantages
The RAID 940-16i provides hardware-accelerated RAID processing that offloads RAID tasks from the server CPU, improving storage subsystem performance. With a PCIe 4.0 host interface, it delivers increased bandwidth compared with previous-generation controllers, enabling higher IOPS and better throughput. The adapter supports a broad set of RAS and management features and optional Tri-Mode capability to connect SAS, SATA and NVMe devices.
Suitable for
Enterprise and data-center servers requiring internal SAS/SATA RAID
Workloads needing high random-read IOPS and low latency
Systems where CPU offload for RAID operations is desired
Key specifications
Host interface: PCI Express x4 (PCIe 4.0)
Drive interface: 12 Gbit/s SAS and SATA
Supported RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 6 and 60
RAID architecture: RAID-on-chip (ROC) with dedicated processor
Cache memory: up to 8 GB dedicated cache (for write/read caching)
Form factor: low-profile adapter for server PCIe slots
How to use
Install the RAID 940-16i into an appropriate PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on a compatible ThinkSystem server, secure the card, and connect internal drive backplanes or drive cables to the adapter's SAS ports. Configure BIOS/UEFI and install driver/management software provided by the server vendor. Use the controller management utility or server management tools to create RAID arrays, assign caching policies and monitor health and performance.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use PCIe 4.0-capable server platforms and pair the controller with drives rated for 12 Gbit/s operation. Enable hardware RAID acceleration and configure appropriate cache and write-back policies based on workload characteristics. Consider Tri-Mode only if NVMe device passthrough or mixed-drive environments are required.
