The Intel RAID Controller RS25DB080, a second generation SAS-2/SATA-3 card with eight internal ports, delivers two 800MHz processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 1 GB cache memory. For users implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, the Intel RS25DB080 unleashes the IOPS and throughput potential of SSDs to provide exceptional storage performance. Users deploying this controller in HDD-based server environments are likely to experience significant performance gains compared to the previous generation of controllers.
For even greater data protection, the Intel RAID Controller RS25DB080 offers self-encrypting drive support with Intel premium features. This controller delivers outstanding availability with proactive drive monitoring and automatic error correction, along with an optional battery backup that maintains data without the need for an uninterruptible power supply.
Excellent PerformanceA dual core LSI SAS2208 ROC, x8 PCI Express Generation 2 host interface and 1GB of 800 MHz cache enhance the performance of mainstream applications.
Exceptional Data ProtectionThe Intel RS2BL040 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).
BBU SupportThis adapter supports optional Intel Smart Battery AXXRSBBU9 to maintain the data in case the server or power fails, eliminating the need for an additional bulky uninterrupted power supply.
Hot SpareIncludes global hot spare support that automatically comes online to replace the first drive to fail on any array or disk group on the controller.
Inside-the-box Design FlexibilityWith a true MD2 form factor, this adapter is ideal for low-profile height and half-length adapter slots. Eight internal 6Gb/s SAS ports allow connection to 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s high-performance SAS drives, high-capacity SATA drives or a combination of both.
