Intel® Integrated rAID Modules rMS25KB080 and rMS25KB040

Low Cost SAS-2 with Mirroring, Striping and JBOD for Intel® Server Boards and Systems

Why Intel® RAID?

All Intel rAID solutions are validated across multiple

platforms with Intel® boards, chassis, and systems. Custom

training, as well as Intel service and support, make Intel the

one source for customers seeking data protection, increased

productivity, and simplified IT.

Product Overview:

Ideal for servers and workstations needing high-speed data

transfer within a small hardware footprint, the Intel rAID Module

rMS25KB080/040 delivers a 1u capable design with high-

throughput for internal storage applications. this rAID controller

provides SAS capability that allows compatibility with 6Gb/s and

3Gb/s SAS and SAtA hard drives, and SAS expander devices.

While many other SAS controllers are driven by large rAID

software stacks between the host CPu and controller, the

rMS25KB080/040 utilizes the embedded CPu in the LSI* 2308

ASIC to perform rAID 0, 1, and 1e/10 operations. With the reduction

in rAID overhead, the rMS25KB080/040 offers superior internal

reAD/WrIte performance.

Key Advantages:

•

•

•

•

System Design Flexibility – 1u capable SAS rAID module

connects to the Storage I/O expansion slot available on select

Intel® server boards based on the Intel® Xeon® processor e5

product family. this module can be used in Intel and 3rd party

chassis without the need for a riser card or low profile cutout.

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 are required.

Excellent Performance and Ultra-Thin Driver – LSI fusion-

MPt™ architecture and LSI2308 I/O Controller provides up to

700,000 I/Os per second while communicating over the PCI

express* 3.0 Host Bus.

High Scalable SAS or SATA Storage – connect SAS or SAtA

devices within the array. employ Just a Bunch of Disks (JBODs)

with support of up to 512 physical devices, or rAID 0, 1, 1e/10

with up to 10 devices.

The Intel® RMS25KB family has an

option for a 4 port or an 8 port model.
