Intel is excited to announce the launch of Intel® RAID Controller RS2BL080 - the first in a series of RAID products designed to deliver significant performance improvements and SAS 2.0 features to Intel-based servers. The Intel "RS2" portfolio of Intel RAID products will allow customers to design higher-performing storage solutions for a diverse set of environments including those based on either mainstream 3Gb/s SAS/SATA or the latest 6Gb/s SAS drives.
 
Shouldn't they be more concerned with the non-availability of media that can transfer data at those speeds?
 
Not really, this is for their onboard stuff. They're just allowing the infrastructure necessary for storage companies to produce the media.
 
How come Intel controllers are not that popular??.. All the crazy HardOCP user storage servers always seems to use other brands of controllers
 
I'm guessing these are going to replace Intels IOP processors that come RAID card makers (Areca for example) use on their cards. Just because the card isn't made by Intel doesn't mean the chips arent.

Not 100% sure. But areca cards just use intel chips for processing. But areca still uses their own controllers and logic.
 
Nice to hear about updates, Intel's controllers should be good. Too bad that good RAID cards are usually quite costly.

I've red somewhere and remember that Areca haven't anymore been using their own controllers. Supposed to be all Intel now, even though they had their own controllers in the past.
 
Anyone else find it interesting that Intel rebrands LSI's MegaRaid chips, while many other RAID controllers use Intel's IOP processors?
