Key features
LSI SAS3108* RAID-on-Chip (RoC) controller providing SAS 3.0 capability, including 12 Gb/s data transfer
Embedded 1-GB 1866 MHz cache (ECC DDR3 memory) to efficiently store data in transition
One internal HD small form factor 8643 SAS/SATA connector for up to four internal ports
One external HD small form factor 8644 SAS/SATA connector for up to four external ports
x8 PCI Express* Generation 3 interface for fast communication with the server board
Intel® RAID with Fast Path* I/O delivering up to 750,000 I/Os per second (IOPS)
Optional Intel® RAID maintenance free backup offering cache protection with up to five years service life
Optional premium feature upgrades: Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller
Target applicationThe Intel® RAID Controller RS3MC044 provides versatility allowing all common RAID levels across both internal and external connectors, plus scalability when combined with RAID expanders or just-a-bunch of disks (JBODs). Its high flexibility and broad feature set make it an exceptional choice to address the challenges of today™s datacenter. Key advantages
Exceptional data protection: 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)
Excellent performance: A dual-core LSI SAS 3108 ROC, x8 PCI Express Generation 3 host interface, and 1 GB 1866 MHz provide the performance required for highly scalable storage
Versatility: With both internal and external connectivity and support for multiple premium feature upgrades, this add-in card can be used to architect a wide number of solutions
Scalability for up to 240 devices: Compatible with RAID expanders and JBODs with room to grow
