MegaRAID 9285CV-8e SAS RAID

The MegaRAID SAS 9285CV-8e RAID controller is a SAS2208-based low-profile PCI Express® (PCIe®) RAID controller that offers a 6Gb/s transfer rate. It controls eight external SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8088 x4 external mini SAS connectors. The MegaRAID SAS 9285CV-8e RAID controller supports the CVFM03 module - which is an on-board 1-GB nonvolatile DDR3 1333-MT/s CacheVault Flash Module. The CVFM03 module connects to a remote CVPM02 module. The following figure shows the MegaRAID SAS 9285CV-8e RAID controller. (The CVFM03 module is not attached in this figure - so that all of the connectors on the RAID controller are visible. Other figures in this guide show the CVFM03 module attached to the controller.)
