IBM 82XX-5903 – SAS 3Gb 2-Port PCIe (x8) 380MB DDR RAID

Detailed Description:

The IBM 82XX-5903 is a sophisticated RAID adapter designed to enhance storage performance and reliability in server environments. This adapter features two ports for connectivity with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives, supporting data transfer rates of up to 3 Gigabits per second. It leverages a PCIe (x8) interface, providing a broad bandwidth for data transmission and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server architectures. The inclusion of 380MB of DDR memory on the adapter itself allows for efficient queuing and processing of RAID operations, significantly improving the speed and reliability of data access. This RAID adapter supports various RAID levels, including 0, 1, and 10, offering flexibility in configuring storage arrays for performance or redundancy. The IBM 82XX-5903 is particularly suited for applications requiring high-speed data access and protection against data loss, such as databases, file servers, and video surveillance systems. Its advanced features, such as online capacity expansion and RAID level migration, provide system administrators with the tools necessary to manage storage efficiently, optimize server performance, and ensure data integrity.
