Intel RAID Controller RS2WC080
The Intel RAID Controller RS2WC080 includes features such LSIs SAS2008 6Gb/s I/O Controller (IOC) and a native PCI Express* 2.0 architecture to deliver essential performance for 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s drive-based solutions. The Intel RAID Controller RS2WC080 allows businesses using workstations and entry-level servers to employ robust RAID functionality at lower prices than enterprise-class RAID adapters.
Features and benefits
| Exceptional data protection |
Supports data redundancy using SAS or SATA hard disk drives through mirroring and parity (RAID levels 1, 5) plus striping capability for spans (RAID levels 10, 50). |
| Essential performance without relying on system resources |
LSI* SAS2008 IOC technology with hardware RAID capability and an x8 PCI Express* Generation 2 host interface enhances the performance of server and workstation applications. |
| Inside-the-box design flexibility |
With a true MD2 form factor, this adapter is ideal for low-profile height and half-length adapter slots. Eight internal 6 Gb/s SAS ports allow connection to 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s high-performance SAS drives, high-capacity SATA drives or a combination of both. |
| Enhanced entry-level availability |
The Intel RAID Controller RS2WC080 design is based on LSI MegaRAID Entry* technology which offers the same robustness and many of the same features as trusted LSI MegaRAID technology*. Configuration options are simplified for entry-level usage models. |
| Seamless migration to more fully featured RAID |
The Intel RAID Controller RS2WC080 shares common drivers with enterprise-class Intel RAID products which allows for simple migration to more full-featured RAID-on-Chip (ROC)-based products should system requirements change. |
