Intel® RAID Controller SASUC8I
Entry-Level SAS/SATA Controller Delivers Low Cost Hardware RAID
Key Advantages
• Cost Effective Data Protection. Provides a low-cost RAID 0, 1, and
1E/10E solution for entry-level server and workstation environments
where high-performance and reliable data protection are required.
where high-performance and reliable data protection are required.
• SAS or SATA Storage. Connect SAS or SATA devices within the array. Use
SAS drives for speed, reliability, and scalability; use high-capacity SATA drives
for budget-friendly storage.
for budget-friendly storage.
• Scalability. Supports up to 122 physical devices in SAS mode which is
ideal for employing JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Disks) or up to 14 devices in
RAID 0, 1, 1E/10E mode through direct connect device attachment or
through expander backplane support.
RAID 0, 1, 1E/10E mode through direct connect device attachment or
through expander backplane support.
• Ultra thin driver. LSI Fusion-MPT* architecture provides over 140,000
I/Os per second while communicating over the PCI Express* 8-lane Host Bus.
• Increased IT productivity. Includes a suite of tools that are common
across all Intel SAS/SATA RAID solutions, for easy installation and
advanced management.

Product Overview
The Intel® RAID Controller SASUC8I is ideal for servers and workstations needing
high-speed data transfer with the option for entry-level hardware RAID data
protection. This RAID controller allows for point-to-point connections with a SAS
universal interconnect interface allowing for 1.5 and 3Gb/s SATA hard disk drives
along with logical SCSI compatibility for the extra reliability and manageability
that SAS drives provide.

protection. This RAID controller allows for point-to-point connections with a SAS
universal interconnect interface allowing for 1.5 and 3Gb/s SATA hard disk drives
along with logical SCSI compatibility for the extra reliability and manageability
that SAS drives provide.
While other SAS controllers drive large RAID software stacks between the
host CPU and controller, the SASUC8I utilizes the embedded CPU in the LSI
host CPU and controller, the SASUC8I utilizes the embedded CPU in the LSI
SAS1068E ASIC to perform RAID 0, 1, and 1E/10E operations. By
reducing RAID code overhead, the SASUC8I offers superior internal
READ/WRITE performance.
All Intel® RAID solutions are validated across multiple platforms
with Intel boards, chassis, and systems. Customized training,
as well as Intel service and support, make Intel the
one source for customers seeking data protection,
increased productivity, and simplified IT.
