Mainstream: RAID-On-Chip Intelligent Hardware RAID
Mainstream RAID offers advanced application acceleration technology delivered both
add-in cards and modules with advanced firmware, drivers, utilities and management
software. Mainstream RAID cards have powerful onboard processors with capabilities
to perform parity generation (RAID levels 5/6/50/60) and RAID recovery operations, as
well as data, memory and bus management. The following solutions are recommended
for most customers desiring a mainstream solution:

SSD-like Performance from Hard-Drive-based RAID using SSD Cache
Solid State technology allows for drastically higher throughput and IOPs than traditional
spinning drives. However, an entire array of Solid State Drives is often cost prohibitive.
To allow for the best of both worlds, Intel offers the following:
spinning drives. However, an entire array of Solid State Drives is often cost prohibitive.
To allow for the best of both worlds, Intel offers the following:
• Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040: Includes up to 1TB of onboard Flash-
based cache which it utilizes to accelerate Writes and also host frequently accessed
data or “hot spots” in order to provide SSD array-like performance.
data or “hot spots” in order to provide SSD array-like performance.
• SSD Cache 2.0 with FastPath* I/O Key: Allows for one or more SSD to be used as
super-sized cache for the RAID module or unlocks a SSD-optimized code base for SSD
RAID arrays (Order code: AXXRPFKSSD2).

Scalable Performance with SAS Expanders
Scalable Performance offers more than 8 SAS/SATA ports and delivers high performance
associated with the throughput and IOPs possible with a high number of drives. To
architect a scalable performance solution, it is recommended that a mainstream RAID
product be combined with one of the following SAS expanders:

product be combined with one of the following SAS expanders:
• Intel® RAID Expander RES2CV360/240: System board that allows four or eight ports
to be expanded to 32 or 24 ports respectively. (The 360 model offers 36 dynamically
configured “in” or “out” ports. The 240 model offers 24 total ports).

• Intel® RAID Expander RES2SV240: PCIe x1 card (for power) that allows four or eight
ports to be expanded to 20 ports or 16 ports respectively.
Common Accessories: Cache Backup, Premium Feature Upgrade
and Cables
Intel offers accessories to help ensure the highest data protection and storage availability.
These include:
These include:
• Maintenance Free Backup Units to protect the dynamic cache.
• Premium Feature Keys to allow for features such as Disk Encryption Management of
SED drives and High Availability failover redundancy.
• Cable kits to deliver high bend radius, high signal integrity and a perfect fit.
