This lot of two, untested, LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i RAID controllers is a great choice for those in need of high-performance data storage solutions. These controllers are compatible with Dell brand products and come with BBU bundles, making them an ideal fit for enterprise networking and server components. With a total of 8 network ports including SAS, SATA III, eSATA, SATA II, and SATA I, these controllers provide ample connectivity options. The internal Mini SAS-3 SFF-8643 connectors and high-profile bracket form factor make for a easy installation and management. The compact size of 6.61in x 2.99in x 2.54in makes them a perfect fit for any server setup.
Works great. Designed for a high airflow server case, so the card gets super hot (like 106C) under load (eg building the array). You will needs some external cooling for a desktop case. I just threw a $7 PCI slot fan in the space next to it.
Product arrived in a static proof plastic bubble packing. Upon installation the card immediately worked and is now 100% functional in my home lab/test environment.
