The RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card is a hardware component used in data storage systems. It is designed to expand the storage capacity and improve the performance of a storage system. This card is manufactured by Intel, a leading provider of computer hardware components.
In this article, we will explain in detail what the RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card is, how it works, and what benefits it offers. We will also explore some of the key features and specifications of this card.
Raid Controller Expander CardThe RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card is a PCI-Express expansion card that is designed to work with SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives. It is used to expand the storage capacity of a server or storage system by adding more SAS drives.
The card is compatible with SAS 3.0, SAS 2.0, and SATA (Serial ATA) 3.0 devices. It has 36 SAS/SATA ports and supports up to 1024 SATA or SAS devices when used with SAS expanders. The card is also designed to work with Intel RAID controllers, providing a complete solution for data storage and management.
36-Port PCI-E X4 ControllerThe RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card works by connecting SAS or SATA drives to a host system through the PCI-Express bus. The card is installed in an available PCI-Express slot on the motherboard of the host system.
Once installed, the card can be used to connect multiple SAS or SATA drives to the host system. The card uses SAS expanders to connect up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices. The SAS expanders allow for the connection of multiple SAS or SATA drives to a single SAS port, effectively expanding the number of devices that can be connected to the host system.
The RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card also supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations. RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to be combined into a single logical unit, improving performance and data redundancy. The card works with Intel RAID controllers to provide a complete solution for data storage and management.
BenefitsThere are several benefits to using the RES3FV288 Intel 12GB 36-Port PCI-E X4 SAS Raid Controller Expander Card in a data storage system. These include:
- Increased storage capacity: The card allows for the connection of up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices, providing a significant increase in storage capacity.
- Improved performance: The card uses SAS expanders to allow multiple drives to be connected to a single SAS port, improving performance by reducing the number of SAS ports required.
- Enhanced data redundancy: The card supports RAID configurations, which improve data redundancy and help to prevent data loss in the event of a drive failure.
- Easy installation: The card is easy to install and can be installed in an available PCI-Express slot on the motherboard of the host system.
