Intel RMS3CC040

Overview

The Intel RMS3CC040 is a RAID module designed to provide reliable and high-speed storage management for servers and workstations. It fits into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and supports up to 128 SAS or SATA drives with data transfer speeds of 12 Gb/s. Equipped with an LSI3108 RAID-on-Chip processor and 1 GB of cache, it efficiently handles parity calculations and rebuilds, freeing the system CPU for other tasks and ensuring smooth data flow during intensive operations.

Key features

• Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, allowing customization for speed, redundancy, or a balance of both.
• Handles up to 128 SAS or SATA drives, enabling large and scalable storage arrays.
• 12 Gb/s throughput maintains fast data movement even under heavy workloads.
• PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures efficient and low-latency connection to the host system.
• 1 GB dedicated cache smooths read and write operations, reducing bottlenecks during burst traffic.
• LSI3108 RAID-on-Chip processor offloads RAID management tasks from the main CPU, improving overall system performance.
• Compatible with Windows, Linux, and VMware, providing flexibility across different server environments.
• Includes standoffs and locking pins for straightforward installation in compact rack chassis.

Connectivity and compatibility

This RAID module connects directly to a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, providing a high-bandwidth link to the host system. It supports a wide range of SAS and SATA drives, making it suitable for diverse storage configurations. Its compatibility with major operating systems like Windows, Linux, and VMware ensures seamless integration into existing server environments without driver concerns.

Installation and setup

Intel includes standoffs and locking pins with the module, simplifying installation even in tight rack-mounted chassis. Once installed, the module integrates with standard management consoles, allowing administrators to create and manage RAID arrays, schedule consistency checks, and monitor drive health from familiar interfaces. This ease of setup reduces downtime and streamlines maintenance tasks.

Ideal uses and environments

The RMS3CC040 is well suited to environments requiring dependable and fast storage solutions, such as trading platforms that demand low latency, virtualized labs needing efficient data handling, and archival servers where data integrity is critical. Its flexible RAID options and high drive capacity make it a strong choice for IT professionals managing complex storage arrays in enterprise or data center settings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
