You need hardware RAID on a ThinkSystem, eight internal drives, and you want the bandwidth to actually keep up with your workload. The 940-8i gives you that: 8 internal SAS/SATA ports, 4GB of flash-backed cache, PCIe Gen4 host interface, and 12Gb/s drive links. No software RAID eating CPU cycles. No wondering why your write latency spikes when the queue fills. Slot it in, configure your arrays in XClarity, and get back to running the business instead of babysitting I/O
