{"title":"RAID Controllers","description":"RAID is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy and performance improvement. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways, referred to as RAID levels, depending on the specific level of redundancy and performance required. A RIAD controller, which is a type of disk array controller, is a device which manages the physical disk drives and presents them to the computer as logical units.","products":[{"product_id":"lenovo-4y37a09730-raid-controller-pci-express-x8-40-12-gbits","title":"Lenovo 4Y37A09730 RAID controller PCI Express x8 4.0 12 Gbit\/s","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"icepim-short-desc\"\u003eRAID 940-16i 8 GB, Broadcom SAS3916, PCIe 4.0 x8, 16 x 12 Gb SAS\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"icepim-long-desc\"\u003e\u003cp id=\"ice_long_description\"\u003eThe ThinkSystem RAID 940 family of PCIe 4.0 12 Gbps SAS RAID controllers are high-performance RAID-on-chip (ROC) adapters for connectivity to drives internal to the server.
