protection, and software. It supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with optional 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1
GB, 2 GB or 4 GB cache each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade, and FastPath support. Maximum 8
drives.
AnyRAID 720ix is similar to the 720i but also includes a SAS Expander to support up to 16 drives in the
TD350. It is a 12 GB SAS/SATA controller with support for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Cache is required,
either 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1 GB, 2GB or 4GB cache each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade,
and FastPath support.
RAID 110i offers a low-cost solution for light workloads with limited users. It supports 6 GB SATA drives
with RAID 0/1/10 with optional RAID 5. Supports SATA drives only. The RAID 110i is a controller
embedded in the Intel C610 PCH. The SATA ports on the system board are connected to the drive
backplane via a cable. RAID support only with 6 drives; remaining 2 drives (if installed) must be
configured as single drives (AHCI mode).
RAID 520i PCIe is an IOC-based RAID card that delivers 12 Gb performance and reliability. It supports 12
GB SAS & SATA drives and RAID 0/1/10 with optional RAID 5/50. Maximum 8 drives.
RAID 720i PCIe is a 12 Gb adapter similar to the AnyRAID 720i but in a regular PCIe form factor. It
supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with optional 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB cache
each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade, and FastPath support. Maximum 8 drives.
Note: If the server configuration includes an internal LTO6 tape drive or M.2 module, the AnyRAID 720ix is
required. It is not supported to have both an LTO6 tape drive and M.2 module installed in a system.

* With the 110i and the 8x2.5 configuration, 6 drives can be configured as RAID; the remaining 2 drives are
JBOD only
† Two AnyRAID 720ix controllers are required for 32-drive support; see below.
** LTO6 and M.2 support are mutually exclusive
For 32-drive bay configurations, two AnyRAID 720ix controllers are required and both are connected to the the
drive backplanes, one controller to each pair of 8-drive backplanes. The first AnyRAID controller is connected to
the standard AnyRAID connectors on the system board (see Locations of key components and connectors ). The
second AnyRAID controller is connected to a PCIe Expander Card that is installed in PCIe slot 3.
Note: If you are upgrading a 16-bay configuration to 32-bays using the upgrade kit described in the Internal
Storage section, the upgrade kit includes the second AnyRAID 720ix adapter as well as the PCIe Expander
Card.
