time now. Today we are testing their 256GB SSD and will be putting it through many
synthetic and real world situations.

Hot on the table in our labs today is the LSI 9260-8i MegaRAID SATA 3 internal RAID
card and it happens to be sitting beside 8 Crucial C300 SATA 3 SSDs and 8 OWC
Mercury Extreme Pro RE SSDs. We are going to put this card through its paces and
brace yourself because we have been pulling off amazing speeds as high as 2.5GB/s
and 1.7GB/s for high sequential read and write access.
The LSI 9260-8i MegaRAID card is a SATA 3 internal RAID card that allows us to
connect up to 8 hard drives (or in our case SSDs) in a variety of multi-level RAID
configurations to include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It installs through a
quick clip into your motherboard PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and, as we saw with this card, is
recognized immediately.
