5. Naming Convention
Intel’s 6Gb/s SAS RAID cards have product names per the convention RS2XX##^ where:
R = RAID
S = SAS T = SATA
2 = specification generation
XX = code name
## = internal port count
^ = external port count
The initial set of 6Gb/s Intel RAID controllers, launching during the 2H of 2009 and 1H of 2010, are expected to
be as follows;
RS2SG244 “Sierra Grande”

RS2PI008 “Puget Island”
RS2BL080 “Big Laurel 8”
