Category: Components
Subcategory: Connectivities

Elevate your server or workstation´s storage capabilities with the Intel® RAID Controller RS2BL080, a high-performance PCI-E Expansion Card engineered for robust data protection and accelerated application performance. Designed for demanding enterprise environments, this controller provides a powerful solution for managing complex storage arrays, ensuring data integrity, and maximizing system uptime. By leveraging a dedicated I/O processor, the RS2BL080 offloads storage management tasks from the host CPU, freeing up valuable system resources for critical applications. This makes it an ideal upgrade for data centers, small to medium-sized businesses, and professionals who require reliable and fast access to large volumes of data.

Key Benefits:

* Superior Data Protection: With support for a comprehensive range of RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, you can configure your storage for optimal performance, complete redundancy, or a balanced combination of both. Safeguard your critical information against drive failure and ensure business continuity.
* Enhanced I/O Performance: Featuring a 6 Gb/s data transfer rate and a powerful LSI SAS 2108 I/O processor, this controller significantly reduces bottlenecks. Experience faster boot times, quicker application loading, and improved throughput for data-intensive operations like database management and video editing.
* Scalable Storage Architecture: Connect up to 8 internal SAS or SATA drives directly to the controller, providing ample capacity for growing data needs. The flexible architecture allows you to start with a smaller configuration and expand as your storage requirements evolve.
* Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Equipped with 512 MB of onboard DDR2 cache memory, the controller enhances read and write performance for frequently accessed data. Its robust design and validation by Intel ensure stability and compatibility within server ecosystems.
