About LSI-9440, 9460, 5408, LSI-9361, L460,
9560, or 9540 series storage controllers
The storage controllers provide a maximum interface rate of 12 Gbps, and some storage controllers
support caching, which greatly increases performance and data security. For more information
about storage controller details and the supported cache, contact Technical Support.
