Intel® RAID Controllers for Select Intel® Xeon® Processor-Based Server SolutionsAs big data continues to get bigger, so does the need for high-performance RAID solutions. Content and web hosting appliances, security appliances, financial institutions, cloud service providers, and enterprise IT customers are seeking high-uptime RAID solutions for mass storage, with maximum reliability and data integrity. Minimizing downtime and eliminating data loss are major priorities for these high-intensity workloads. The tri-mode family of Intel® RAID Controllers includes modules and adapters, all of which support NVMe.Intel® RAID Controllers: Modules (RMSP3) vs. Adapters (RSP3)- Intel® RAID Modules are designed for select 2U Intel® Xeon® processor-based server solutions, affording up to 16 ports of PCIe/SAS/SATA connectivity without taking up a standard add-in card PCIe slot, for a highly integrated configuration.- Intel® RAID Adapters come in a low-profile MD2 standard PCIe form-factor, and are PCIe compliant for flexibility of configuration and use in any system.Support for the NVMe EcosystemTri-mode Intel® RAID Controllers bring PCIe NVMe to hardware RAID. With tri-mode Intel® RAID, data centers can deploy high-performance NVMe storage solutions with the reliability of hardware RAID, as well as SAS and SATA storage solutions at high IOPS, high throughput, and low latency.Key Features- Support for NVMe, SAS, and SATA- RAID levels: 0/1/10/5, plus RAID levels 50/6/60 for cards ending in F - 4GB DDR4 Cache Backup (for cards ending in F )- SuperCapacitor Kit enables maintenance-free cache backup, reducing maintenance costs due to regular battery replacement (for cards ending in F )- Optional self-encrypting drive support enables hardware disk encryption services on capable drives (for cards ending in F )
