You're building a Gen4 server and you don't want your storage bandwidth bottlenecked by last-gen PCIe. The ThinkSystem 940-16i runs on PCIe Gen4 with 4GB Flash cache across sixteen drive bays at 12Gb SAS/SATA. That's the throughput your database or virtualisation stack actually needs. Hardware RAID, no software overhead, and it slots into the ThinkSystem platform without a compatibility headache. One card. Sixteen drives. Sorted
