Lenovo lists 4Y37A72483 (feature code BJHL) as the ThinkSystem RAID 9350-8i 2GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter, the low-profile 8-port member of the RAID 9350 family. It is built on the Microchip Luxor PM8204 RAID-on-chip, and Lenovo names the Adaptec SmartRAID 3152-8i as its equivalent.
The adapter has eight 12 Gb SAS ports on two Mini-SAS HD x4 (SFF-8643) connectors and handles SAS and SATA hard drives and SSDs, including hot-swap drives and self-encrypting drives. The 2GB cache is standard and is protected by a supercap with flash. Lenovo lists RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6 and 60 plus 1 Triple and 10 Triple, and a JBOD (raw) drive state. The family also supports maxCache 4.0 SSD caching.
The 16-port sibling is 4Y37A72485 (BJHN), the RAID 9350-16i with 4GB cache. Lenovo also lists custom form-factor versions of both sizes that use SlimSAS x4 (SFF-8654) connectors and install in a dedicated internal bay instead of a PCIe slot, with 4Y37A72486 (BJHP) as the 16i version.
More controllers are in the Lenovo interface card category. For a current-generation 8-port RAID adapter, see the ThinkSystem RAID 540-8i PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter, 4Y37A78834.
