RAID Controller RS25FB044, Single
Four internal and external port 6-Gb/s PCI Express* SAS/SATA RAID Controller for entry-level servers
Intel® RAID Controller RS25FB044.
- LSI SAS2308* IOC controller providing SAS 2.0 compliance including 6Gb/s data transfer.
- One internal 8087 SAS/SATA connector for up to four internal ports.
- One external 8080 SAS/SATA connector for up to four external ports.
- x8 PCI Express* Generation 3 interface for fast communication with the server board.
- Heartbeat LED—blinks green indicating card activity ready.
Low-cost SAS-2 with mirroring, striping, and JBOD for highly scalable solutions.
The Intel® RAID Controller RS25FB044 uses the embedded LSI 2308* ASIC CPU to perform RAID 0, 1, and 1E/10 operations, and an ultra-thin driver provides low RAID overhead, for high-host CPU offload with excellent read/write performance.
All Intel® RAID products are validated across multiple platforms with Intel® Server Boards, Intel® Server Chassis, and Intel® Server Systems. Customized training, as well as service and support, make Intel the one source for customers seeking data protection, increased productivity, and simplified IT.
Target applications.
The Intel® RAID Controller RS25FB044 is ideal for servers that include both direct attached storage (DAS) and external JBOD (just a bunch of disks) storage.
