The Intel RS3DC040 is a hardware RAID controller designed for servers and workstations that need dependable storage performance and data protection without unnecessary complexity. It installs into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and immediately brings support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, giving you the freedom to tune an array for raw speed, redundancy, or a blend of both.
Each of its four internal ports uses the Mini SAS HD connector and can link to as many as 128 SAS or SATA drives. With SAS lanes rated at 12 Gb/s and SATA support at 6 Gb/s, the controller moves large datasets quickly, making it a practical choice for tasks such as database hosting, media streaming, or backup consolidation.
Performance stays consistent during heavy workloads thanks to a 1 GB cache working alongside the LSI3108 RAID processor to offload parity calculations from the host CPU. This arrangement keeps virtual machines responsive and shortens rebuild windows when a drive is replaced.
The board follows the MD2 specification and ships with both full height and low profile brackets, so it fits comfortably in compact rack servers, tower workstations, or short depth storage enclosures. Intel RAID Web Console 2 provides an intuitive way to create, monitor, and adjust arrays, and compatibility with Windows, Linux, and VMware means you can drop the card into most data center or lab environments without additional drivers.
If you are upgrading an existing file server or building a new storage node from scratch, the RS3DC040 delivers a mix of speed, capacity, and reliability that helps keep data available and workloads moving.
