Intel&174; RAID Controllers for Select Intel&174; Xeon&174; Processor-Based Server Solutions\n As big data continues to get bigger, so does the need for high-performance RAID solutions. Content & web hosting appliances, security appliances, financial institutions, cloud service providers, & enterprise IT customers are seeking high-uptime RAID solutions for mass storage, with maximum reliability & data integrity. Minimizing downtime & eliminating data loss are major priorities for these high-intensity workloads. The tri-mode family of Intel&174; RAID Controllers
Includes:: modules & adapters, all of which support NVMe.\n \n Intel&174; RAID Controllers: Modules (RMSP3) vs. Adapters (RSP3)\n
- Intel&174; RAID Modules are designed for select 2U Intel&174; Xeon&174; processor-based server solutions, affording up to 16 ports of PCIe/SAS/SATA connectivity without taking up a standard add-in card PCIe slot, for a highly integrated configuration.\n
- Intel&174; RAID Adapters come in a low-profile MD2 standard PCIe form-factor, & are PCIe compliant for flexibility of configuration & use in any system.\n \n Support for the NVMe Ecosystem\n Tri-mode Intel&174; RAID Controllers bring PCIe NVMe to hardware RAID. With tri-mode Intel&174; RAID, data centers can deploy high-performance NVMe storage solutions with the reliability of hardware RAID, as well as SAS & SATA storage solutions at high IOPS, high throughput, & low latency.\n \n Key Features\n
- Support for NVMe, SAS, & SATA\n
- RAID levels: 0/1/10/5, plus RAID levels 50/6/60 for cards ending in &156;F&157;\n
- 4GB DDR4 Cache Backup (for cards ending in &156;F&157;)\n
- Super Capacitor Kit enables maintenance-free cache backup, reducing maintenance costs due to regular battery replacement (for cards ending in &156;F&157;)\n
- Optional self-encrypting drive support enables hardware disk encryption services on capable drives (for cards ending in &156;F&157;)\n\n Ports & interfaces Supported storage drive interfaces PCI Express 3.0, SAS, Serial ATA, Serial ATA IIIHost interface PCI Express x 8PCI Express slots version 3.0PCI Card form factor Half-height (low-profile) Internal mini-SAS ports 2 Memory Internal memory 4096 MBInternal memory type DDR4 Memory clock speed 2133 MHz Performance RAID ARK ID99497RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60 Internal memory 4096 MBInternal memory type DDR4 Chipset SAS3508 Memory clock speed 2133 MHz S.M.A.R.T. support Yes Online Capacity Expansion Yes Number of devices supported 240 Form factor Low-Profile MD2 PCIe AICCompatible battery backup options AXXRMFBU7 Built-in processor Yes Harmonized System (HS) code 8471801000 Technical details RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60 Chipset SAS3508S.M.A.R.T. support Yes Online Capacity Expansion Yes Number of devices supported 240 Form factor Low-Profile MD2 PCIe AICCompatible operating systems Microsoft Windows, VMWare, Linux (SLES, RHEL), Solaris, Free BSDCompatible battery backup options AXXRMFBU7 Supported devices PCIe/SAS/SATAOther features Support for optional Maintenance Free Backup Unit & Premium Feature upgrade keys.
