The Intel RAID Controller RS25NB008, a second generation SAS-2/SATA-3 card with eight external ports, delivers two 800MHz processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 1GB cache memory. For users implementing hybrid server platforms, this controller provides external RAID connectivity designed to optimize usage of both solid-state storage and large capacity storage build on hard disk drives. The RS25NB008 unleashes the IOPs and throughput potential of SSDs to provide exceptional storage performance and users deploying this controller in HDD-based server environments are likely to experience significant performance gains compared to previous generation controllers.
