Intel RAID Expander RES2SV240 - Storage controller - 6 Channel - SATA 1.5Gb/s / SAS - low profile - RAID RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 - PCIe x4 - for Integrated Server RAID Module RMS2AF040; Server System P4208
- Low-cost alternative to high port count RAID cards
- Inside-the-box design flexibility
- Excellent performance
For a low-cost value-added alterative to high port count RAID cards, select the Intel RAID Expander RES2SV240 to achieve excellent performance and higher returns on investment. As the perfect complement for Intel's SAS-2 generation RAID cards, the RES2SV240 offers ultimate flexibility for architecting a high drive count (>8 drive) storage solution in any sized system.
The RES2SV240, powered by an LSISAS2x24 24-port SAS-2 expander, enables the connection of up to 24 directly attached SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) devices with transfers based on the speed of the host or target at either 6.0Gb/s 3.0Gb/s, or 1.5Gb/s. The RES2SV240 can be cascaded to accommodate as many drives as the associated SAS/RAID card allows with table routing for up to 1024 SAS connections. Furthermore, the RES2SV240 supports usability functions such as discovery and enclosure management.

Low-cost alternative to high port count RAID cards
Provide a more economic solution that is similar to a 16 or 20 high port count card, but has more flexibility as the RES2SV240 can be teamed up with a wide variety 4 or 8 port SAS RAID card/modules to provide you with features that are better suited to customer needs.
-
Inside-the-box design flexibility
With a true MD2 form factor, this expander card is ideal for low-profile height and half-length adapter slots. In cases where an add-in slot is not available, the RES2SV240 can even be mounted to a chassis wall or air-duct with power obtained a from a power cable.

Excellent performance
Overall performance of the RES2SV240 is on par with Intel's SAS-2 high port count RAID with transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port. While today's high port count RAID cards typically include an expander on the card, a RES2SV240-based solution separates the expander from the RAID card for more system design flexibility.
