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.
