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, Chassis, and 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.
| Key Advantages | |
Internal and external connectivity |
Four internal ports allow for a mirrored RAID array within a system. Four external ports allow for connecting to a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) or a SAS switch. |
High performance and scalability |
PCI Express* Gen 3 architecture supports over 700K IOPs. Employ JBODs supporting up to 244 physical devices, or RAID 0, 1, 1E/10 with up to 10 devices. |
Cost-effective data protection |
Provides a low-cost RAID 0, 1, and 1E solution for entry-level server and workstation environments where high-performance and reliable data protection is required. |
SAS or SATA storage |
Connect SAS or SATA devices within the array. Use SAS drives for speed, reliability and scalability and use high-capacity SATA drives for budget-friendly storage. |
