- Optional Intel® RAID cable kit AXXCBL650HDMS includes two 650mm cables with HD SFF 8643 mini-SAS to 8087 mini-SAS connectors.
Exceptional data protection.
Supports data redundancy using SAS or SATA hard disk drives through mirroring, parity, and double parity (RAID levels 1, 5, and 6) plus striping capability for spans (RAID levels 10, 50, and 60).
Excellent performance.
A dual core LSI SAS3108 ROC, x8 PCI Express Generation 3 host interface, and 1GB of 1866 MHz cache enhance the performance of mainstream applications.
Outstanding availability. Delivers proactive drive monitoring and automatic error correction. A new battery (optional accessory) offers multiple operating modes including high heat tolerance and five year service life options.
Fast Path I/O included.
The technology is designed to dramatically boost transactional application throughput, delivering up to 750,000 I/Os per second (IOPS) in RAID mode.
