Intel RS25DB080 Internal RAID Controller Internal Modem  (6000000 kbps)

The Intel RAID Controller RS25DB080 is a high-performance storage solution designed to enhance reliability, scalability, and efficiency in enterprise server environments. Supporting 6Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, it delivers fast data transfer rates, ensuring optimal performance for data-intensive applications. Built on the PCIe 2.0 architecture, it offers a high-speed connection with low latency and increased bandwidth, making it suitable for demanding workloads. The controller features dual-core RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology, which integrates RAID functionality directly onto the controller, improving RAID performance while offloading tasks from the server CPU. With support for advanced RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, the RS25DB080 offers flexible configurations for both data protection and performance optimization. It includes a 1GB DDR3 cache to accelerate read and write operations, while its scalability allows the connection of up to 240 devices through SAS expanders, catering to growing storage needs. The hot-swap capability enables the replacement of failed drives without system shutdown, minimizing downtime and maintaining data availability. For seamless management, the controller provides a user-friendly utility to monitor and configure RAID setups effectively. The RS25DB080 is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, ensuring versatility across different server environments. Its features like Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) and Online RAID Level Migration (RLM) enhance data protection and simplify storage management. Designed for data centers, enterprise servers, and high-performance computing, it is ideal for applications such as database management, virtualization, file servers, and backup systems. Despite being listed as obsolete, it remains a dependable option for legacy systems or cost-effective setups. Its energy-efficient design reduces operational costs, while its advanced capabilities make it a valuable asset for organizations prioritizing reliable and scalable storage solutions.
