Editorial Review Description:The Intel RAID Controller SRCSASBB8I offers hardware RAID data protection and maximum design flexibility. With a true MD2 low-profile form factor, the SRCSASBB8I allows system builders to attach SAS and SATA hard drives within servers of many form factors. Support for RAID 6 and 60 strengthens data protection capabilities by ensuring data integrity, even if two drives fail simultaneously. This controller also delivers outstanding availability with proactive drive monitoring and automatic error correction, and includes an optional battery backup that maintains data without the need for an uninterruptible power supply.
