Publisher's description of Intel SASMF8I Entry RAID Controller

The eight-port Intel® RAID Controller SASMF8I provides a host-based RAID 0/1/5/10 solution for entry-level server and workstation environments with SAS or SATA hard drives. The Intel RAID Controller SASMF8I is unique in its ability to seamlessly migrate to a more full-featured mainstream and scalable Intel RAID controller in the future.

Features and benefits
