Product Overview
• 12.0 Gb/s SAS III performance
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS3JC080, which is based on the LSISAS3008 I/O controller, uses an 8-MB Flash memory device
for storing the BIOS and firmware and controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal
connectors.
This 12Gb/s Intel
®
RAID Module is based on the LSI first-to-market SAS IC technology and proven MegaRAID technology. As
third-generation PCIe RAID modules, these modules address the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability
requirements across midrange and enterprise-class server platforms. These RAID modules provide these features:
• 6.0 Gb/s SATA III performance
• Eight-lane 8 GT/s PCIe host interface
SAS technology brings a wealth of options and flexibility with the use of SAS devices and SATA devices within the same storage
infrastructure. However, SAS devices and SATA devices bring individual characteristics that make each one a more suitable
choice depending on your storage needs.
NOTE: These RAID modules support SATA II and SATA III technologies.
NOTE: Record your RAID module serial number in a safe location in case you need to contact Intel.
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS3JC080 is a PCI-Express* (PCIe*) 3.0 RAID adapter whose PCIe* connector is a custom 80-pin
connector capable of performance up to 8GT/s per lane.
