Enhanced Data Protection with RAID-On-Chip Technology and RAID 6 for Entry-Level Applications
The
Intel® RAID Controller SRCSATAWB is one in a family of Intel first-
generation RAID solutions to use RAID-On-Chip (ROC) technology,
delivering state-of-the-art power and performance. Designed for
solutions using low cost, high capacity SATA hard drives, the SRCSATAWB
offers features typically found in higher-end RAID solutions, such as
RAID 6 and expander-based backplane support.
Through
the use of double parity, RAID 6 delivers data protection even in the
case of two simultaneous hard drive failures - a scenario far too
common during the stressing of SATA hard disk drives. The SRCSATAWB is
built on SAS technology, so it is compatible with the same software
stack as Intel's SAS ROC-based solutions. The SRCSATAWB also supports
drive bays with expander-based backplanes and up to 16 hot-swap drives.
Supports data redundancy using SATA hard disk drives through mirroring,
parity, and double parity (RAID levels 1, 5, and 6) plus striping
capability for spans (RAID levels 10, 50, and 60).
Powerful and cost effective
Includes the same ROC technology and Intel RAID software as higher
price cards, with features optimized for budget friendly entry-level
SATA solutions.
Excellent availability
Delivers proactive drive monitoring and automatic error correction. An
optional battery backup maintains data without the need for an
uninterruptible power supply.
Support for expander-based backplanes
With a SAS-derivative design, the SRCSATAWB allows for hot-swap SATA
drives with active backplanes and up to 16 hard disk drives.
Increased IT productivity
Includes a suite of tools that are common across multiple Intel RAID
solutions for easy installation and advanced management.
