Product Overview
The Intel® RAID Controller RS2PI008 is a high-performance, intelligent PCI Express-toSCSI/Serial ATA II adapter, with RAID control capability. The SAS RAID controller provides reliability, high performance, and a fault-tolerant drive subsystem management. It is an ideal RAID solution for the external storage needs of workgroups, departmental, and enterprise systems. The Intel® RAID Controller RS2PI008 provides flexibility and helps lower the total cost of ownership with a standardized server and storage infrastructure. The Intel® RAID Controller RS2PI008DE version provides additional data protection feature in the event of theft or loss of physical drives. This version of the controllers supports the use of self encrypting drives with encryption key management, provided by the RAID controller firmware.
The SAS RAID controllers support the SAS protocol as described in the Serial Attached SCSI Standard, Version 2.0. The controllers also support the Serial ATA II (SATA II) protocol defined by the Serial ATA Specification, Version 1.0a and the Serial ATA II Extension to the Serial ATA Specification, Version 1.1. SATA II is an extension to SATA 1.0a.
