RMS25CB040 are intelligent RAID adapter with an integrated LSI SAS2208 dual-core
RAID-On-Chip chipset, providing both a SAS controller and RAID engine. With 1GB
RAM built onto the board and four independent ports (RMS25PB040 and RMS25CB040)
or eight independent ports (RMS25PB080 and RMS25CB080) supporting 6Gb/s and
3Gb/s SAS data transfers using one or two SFF-8087 mini multi-lane connectors, the
controllers support up to 128 enterprise-class SAS or SATA devices.
