ARC-1884ixl-8/12
(12/16 Ports 12Gb/s SAS RAID Adapters)

The new third generation ARC-1884ixl family offers advanced technology for increased performance and improved enterprise data protection. They were designed with 1.2 GHz dual core ROC processor, DDR3-1866 memory architecture and PCIe 3.0 interface for the most performance-hungry database and IT applications. The ARC-1884ixl family includes 8 ports low profile as well as 12 ports low profile with additional 4 external ports with SFF-8644 connectors for 12Gb/s throughput on each port. System Integrators and users can put the ARC-1884ixl-8/12 in a 2U rackmount chassis without the use of a riser card.
