Intel 16 Port SAS RAID Controller

The Intel SRCSASJV is a sixteen port SAS RAID controller designed for administrators who need a reliable way to expand and protect server storage. Eight internal ports handle drives inside the chassis, while eight external ports make it easy to attach external enclosures, giving you room to connect as many as 240 devices.

The card accepts both SAS and SATA disks, allowing a mix of high speed and high capacity drives in the same array. A PCI Express x8 interface keeps data moving quickly, and the 512 MB onboard cache smooths bursts of traffic. If performance demands grow, that cache can be increased to 1 GB without replacing the controller.

Support for RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 lets you dial in the right balance of speed, redundancy, and capacity for each workload. That flexibility makes the SRCSASJV a smart choice for virtualization hosts, file servers, backup targets, or any environment where storage needs change over time.

Its low profile MD2 form factor fits comfortably in most rack mount servers, and Intel’s management tools simplify setup and ongoing administration. Whether you are building out a new data center or upgrading an existing one, this controller provides a straightforward path to scalable, dependable storage.
