Entry-level Intel® RAID RS3 Controller
12Gb/s SAS-3 technology for connectivity and basic data protection
As big data continues to increase exponentially and becomes the foundation that supports productivity, growth and 
innovation, organizations require a higher performance storage solution. Now with Intel® RAID RS3 controllers, powered 
by LSI technology, organizations can achieve a higher level of storage performance designed to meet the demands of 
I/O-intensive applications, cloud datacenters and virtualized server environments. By utilizing Intel® RAID RS3 controllers 
as a basis for their storage infrastructure, businesses can achieve more than 1 million IOPs in JBOD mode, accelerating 
business-critical applications in enterprise, Web and cloud datacenters.

12Gb/s SAS-3 technology doubles the available bandwidth of current 6Gb/s SAS solutions unlocking the full potential of 
PCI express® 3.0-based systems and solid-state storage solutions. The greatly improved throughput and I/O processing 
capabilities maximize link utilization thereby supporting the highest performance SSD and increased scaling of traditional 
hard disk drives. 
The entry-level Intel RAID RS3 controllers provides powerful performance and scalability without relying on system 
resources for RAID 0,1,1e. While many other SAS controllers utilize large RAID software stacks between the host 
CPU and controller, the Intel RAID RS3 family uses the embedded CPU in the LSI 3008 ASIC to perform RAID 0,1 and 
1E/10 operations. The ultra-thin driver affords low RAID overhead for high host CPU offload with excellent read/write 
performance. Plus, Intel RAID RS3 controllers offer backwards compatibility, which can enhance the performance of 3Gb/s 
and 6Gb/s infrastructures. furthermore, the Intel RAID RS3 controllers deliver scalability, with support for up to 244 
physical devices, multiple RAID arrays and industry-leading interoperability.
Did you know that by replacing older products with Intel RAID RS3 controllers organizations 
can achieve more than 1 million IOPs in JBOD mode, which can significantly accelerate 
critical applications?
