The Cisco UCSC-RAID-9220-4I is a mezzanine-form-factor hardware RAID controller designed for installation in Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers. This adapter card delivers enterprise-grade storage control via a Broadcom (LSI) MegaRAID SAS 9220-4i chipset, making it the preferred choice for storage architects and IT procurement teams seeking reliable RAID acceleration in dense rack environments.

The UCSC-RAID-9220-4I connects to the host via PCIe 2.0 and manages SAS and SATA drives at speeds up to 6Gb/s. It provides 4 internal ports delivered through 2 x SFF-8087 mini-SAS connectors, with support for up to 8 internal drives via SAS expander or 4 drives through direct connection. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, as well as JBOD mode for non-RAID deployments. Cisco integration extends across Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco Intersight for unified lifecycle management. The adapter qualifies under Cisco's HCL validation framework and pairs seamlessly with VMware ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Full Cisco SMARTnet support is included with deployment.

Deployment Scenarios

• High-availability database servers requiring RAID 6 redundancy and hot-spare drive protection
• Virtualization hosts running ESXi with tiered SAS and SATA storage pools
• Multi-tenant Linux environments leveraging RAID 50 or 60 for performance and fault tolerance
• Mixed-workload data centers where JBOD mode enables drive-per-VM provisioning models
• Compliance-driven deployments in regulated industries requiring Cisco HCL-validated storage components
