    MD34x0 and MD38x0x controllers are not compatible with the older generation arrays (MD32x0x and MD36x0x).

    Single Controller Models 
    MD3800i and MD3820i: Support up to 64 servers when configured with 10Gb iSCSI. Available with 4GB cache controllers.

    Dual Controller Models 
    MD3800i, MD3820i, MD3860i: Support up to 64 servers when configured with 10Gb iSCSI. Available with option of 4GB or 8GB cache controllers.

    Controller features:
    Each controller contains 4GB or 8GB of battery-backed cache
    Dual controllers operate in an active-active environment mirroring each other’s cache
    Cache protection is provided via flash memory for permanent data protection
    Dynamic Disk Pools1 (DDP) eliminates the need for complex RAID management while optimizing data protection, and can be used with existing RAID configurations 

    Dual controllers required for the MD3860i dense arrays
