Intel® RAID Controller RS3MC044 

Versatile and Scalable 12Gb/s SAS-3 Intelligent RAID Controller  

With computing needs that change frequently and the continuing trend of explosive data growth, businesses 

need server solutions with highly versatile and scalable storage. The Intel® RAID Controller RS3MC044 provides 

versatility by allowing for all common RAID levels across both internal and external connectors; plus scalability 

when teamed with expanders or JBODs. Its high flexibility and broad feature set make it an exceptional choice to 

address the challenges of today’s datacenter. 

The Intel RS3MC044, designed with two 1.2GHz processor cores, 72-bit DDRIII and LSI* MegaRAID* technology, 

provides industry-leading benefits such as the ability to support 750K RAID 5 IOPS and 6,000MB/s throughput 

performance when using high performance 12Gb/s devices.  Four internal ports allow for connecting to hard-

drives or SSDs within the server while an additional four external ports allow for the addition of JBODs to ensure 

plenty of storage capacity and room to grow.  

The Intel RS3MC044 is compatible across a wide range of devices with backward compatibility to previous PCIe 

and SAS generations through automatic negotiation.  This allows for SAS data transfer rates of 12 and 6Gb/s per 

lane and SATA data transfer rates at 6Gb/s per lane. 

The Intel® Web Console 2, provided to manage this adapter, enhances RAID volume creation by empowering 

administrators to further optimize their storage for application performance and data protection. The intuitive 

graphical user interface makes it easy to deploy all critical system storage functions and helps eliminate 

complexity and learning curves. As all Intel RAID solutions are validated across multiple platforms with 

Intel® server boards, chassis, and systems, when used together they deliver the best combination of built-in 

performance.
