The Intel RMS2AF080, one of Intel's entry-level 6Gb/s SAS I/O modules, incorporates LSI's MegaRAID Entry technology to offer exceptional data protection and configuration flexibility. Designed for a wide selection of Intel server boards, this SAS/SATA RAID module offers features including LSI's 2008 6Gb/s I/O Controller (IOC) and a native PCI Express 2.0 architecture help to deliver essential performance for 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s drive-based soluitons. the Intel RMS2AF080 allows businesses using entry-level servers and workstations to employ robust RAID functionality at lower prices than enterprise-class RAID adapters.


Key Advantages:
System design flexibility.
1U capable system board connects to the I/O expansion slot on Intel’s rack optimized server boards. This module can be used in Intel and 3rd party chassis without the need for a riser card or low profile chassis cutout.

Exceptional data protection.
Supports data redundancy using SAS or SATA hard disk drives through mirroring, parity, and double parity (RAID levels 1 and 5) plus striping capability for spans (RAID levels 10 and 50).

Excellent performance without hindering system resources.
LSI SAS2008 I/O controller, host allows for built-in hardware RAID 0, 1 and 10; plus, firmware-based RAID 5 and 50 (RAID 5 and 50 utilize system resources to a limited extent).

Enhanced entry-level availability.
The Intel RMS2AF040 design utilizes LSI MegaRAID Entry technology which offers simplified configuration options, the same robustness, and many of the same features as trusted LSI MegaRAID technology.

Seamless migration to more fully featured RAID.
The Intel RMS2MH040 shares com-mon drivers with Intel’s enterprise-class RAID products.
