Product Brief Intel® RAID Controller SASMF8I
Intel® RAID Controller SASMF8I Host-Bus Adapter Enhances System Resources to Deliver Low-Cost RAID Protection for SAS or SATA Installations Product Overview
Key Advantages
The eight-port Intel® RAID Controller SASMF8I, powered by LSI MegaRAID*
• Cost effective data protection. Provides a RAID solution (levels 0, 1, 5,
technology, provides a RAID 5 solution for mid- to low-end PCI-Express*
and 10) for mid- to low-end server and workstation environments where
server and workstation environments where high performance and reliable
high-performance and reliable data protection are required.
data protection are required. With support for both SAS and SATA II drives, customers can now configure custom systems employing a SAS/SATA adapter with high-performance SAS drives or low-cost SATA drives. The Intel RAID Controller SASMF8I is unique in its ability to seamlessly migrate from an entry-level Intel RAID controller to more full-featured mainstream and scalable Intel RAID controllers in the future. Users can simply plug in a new adapter, which can import and recognize the existing array without any reconfiguration.
• SAS or SATA storage. Connects up to eight intermixed SAS or SATA devices within the same array. Use SAS drives for speed, reliability, and scalability; use high-capacity SATA drives for budget-friendly storage. • Easy upgrade to full-featured hardware RAID. Host-based RAID implementation with software designed to allow for migration to a fullfeatured Intel RAID Controller without reconfiguration of RAID arrays. • Increased IT productivity. Includes a suite of tools that are common
All Intel RAID solutions are validated across multiple platforms with Intel® boards, chassis, and systems. Customized training, as well as Intel® service and support, make Intel the one source for customers seeking data protection, increased productivity, and simplified IT.
