Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC040
Compact Four-Port 6G SAS PCIe 2.0 RAID Adapter for Entry-Level Applications
Key Advantages
• Exceptional data protection.
Supports data redundancy using SAS or
SATA hard disk drives through mirroring
and parity (RAID levels 1, 5) plus striping
capability for spans (RAID levels 10, 50).

capability for spans (RAID levels 10, 50).
• Essential performance without
relying on system resources.
Includes an LSI* SAS2008 I/O Controller
with hardware RAID capability and a x8
PCI Express* Generation 2 host interface
to enhance the performance of server
and workstation applications.

• Inside-the-box design flexibility
With a true MD2 form factor, this adapter is
ideal for low-profile height and half-length
adapter slots. Four internal 6Gb/s SAS
ports allow connection to 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s
high-performance SAS drives, high-capac-
ity SATA drives or a combination of both.

• Enhanced entry-level availability.
The Intel RS2WC040 design is based on
LSI MegaRAID* Entry technology which of-
fers the same robustness and many of the
same features as trusted LSI MegaRAID
technology. Configuration options are sim-
plified for entry-level usage models.

• Seamless migration to more fully
featured RAID.
The Intel RS2WC040 shares common
drivers with Intel’s enterprise-class RAID
products which allows for simple migration
to more full-featured RAID On Chip-based
products should system requirements
change.
