end customers for SAS/SATA-based server systems and workstations,
supporting any of the following operating modes with a single device:
• Entry-level hardware RAID 0/1/1E
• Low cost software RAID 0/1/5/10
• Non-RAID data off-load
Designed specifically for select Intel® Server Boards, this SAS/SATA RAID is
cost optimized for a very compelling price point in any form factor system.
For 1U and 2U servers, the unique module shape and specialized PCI Express*
connector provide the ability to easily implement a robust RAID solution in
popular 1U and 2U form factor systems, without sacrificing a valuable riser-
card slot or using a chassis with low-profile add-in card cut-outs.
