Storage controller

Note

  • SFF: Standard Form Factor. This type of RAID/HBA adapter is installed in the PCIe expansion slots.

  • CFF: Custom Form Factor. This type of RAID/HBA adapter is installed between fans and front backplanes.

  • Tri-Mode: This type of controllers are hardware RAID designed with Tri-Mode SerDes technology. Once the Tri-Mode setting is enabled, the controllers support any combinations of NVMe, SAS, and SATA devices.
