Meet the RMS3AC160, a purpose-built 12Gb/s SAS3 mezzanine RAID module engineered for enterprise servers seeking maximum storage density, reliability, and flexible data protection. This 16-port internal SAS/SATA mezzanine card is built around a PCIe 3.0 dual-core RAID-On-Chip (ROC), delivering robust RAID processing right where you need it—near your data. With support for a broad range of RAID configurations, optional maintenance-free backup, and premium feature upgrades, the RMS3AC160 is designed to boost throughput, reduce latency, and simplify storage management in virtualization hosts, database servers, and high-demand applications. If you’re modernizing your data center or expanding a mission-critical deployment, this RAID module provides the performance and resilience required to keep operations flowing smoothly and securely.
- Blazing 12Gb/s SAS3 performance: The RMS3AC160 leverages SAS 3.0 (12Gb/s) speeds to maximize throughput across 16 internal SAS/SATA ports, enabling fast data access and improved IOPS for demanding workloads.
- Compact mezzanine design with PCIe 3.0 ROC: Built as a PCIe 3.0 dual-core RAID-On-Chip, this module brings intelligent RAID processing directly to the server’s I/O path, reducing CPU overhead and delivering responsive rebuilds and steady streaming performance.
- Comprehensive RAID level support: Choose from 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 to tailor data protection and performance to your workloads. The ROC-based controller enables flexible array configurations across multiple disks for both performance and fault tolerance.
- Optional Maintenance Free Backup Unit and Premium Feature keys: When you need added reliability and capability, you can opt for a Maintenance Free Backup Unit to protect cache and data integrity without the burden of a traditional battery, along with Premium Feature upgrade keys to unlock advanced features as your storage needs evolve.
- Easy integration for enterprise environments: Designed for server platforms that require high-density, high-availability storage, the RMS3AC160 fits into standard mezzanine slots, integrates with existing RAID utilities, and supports scalable configurations for growing deployments.

How to install Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS3AC160
- Power down the server, unplug power cables, and remove the chassis cover to access the motherboard and mezzanine slots.
- Identify an available PCIe mezzanine slot that supports the RMS3AC160’s form factor and electrical interface. If the slot requires a specific mezzanine adapter, install it per the server vendor’s guidance.
- Carefully align the RMS3AC160 with the mezzanine connector and firmly seat the card into the slot. Ensure there is no obstruction and that the card is fully engaged.
- Secure the module with the appropriate retaining screw or bracket, then reconnect any backplane or low-voltage cables as required by your server chassis and deployment scenario.
- Reassemble the server, power up, and enter the RAID controller BIOS or management utility. Initialize the ROC, verify detection of the RMS3AC160, and begin configuring your arrays with the desired RAID level(s). If you have an MFBU or Premium Feature keys, apply them during or after initialization to enable the corresponding capabilities.
- Document the configuration, perform a safety check for drive health, and monitor initialization progress. Run a basic integrity check after creating your arrays and establish a baseline performance profile to guide future optimizations.

Is super soft and works for elderly
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural shape, Sheepksin, Oblong), Color: Ivory White
My mom has been ill and confined to her recliner for sleeping. She developed pressure sores and was in a great deal of pain. We needed to treat the sores and I researched how to prevent in first place and found that genuine sheepskin helps. I had no idea this was a thing. I ordered this for her recliner and a seat one for the car. She loves this. She said she could feel an immediate difference in sitting for so long that she didn't need to shift constantly. I don't understand the mechanics behind why this works but I'm grateful for something natural and affordable like this to offer such relief.

Photo of the color differences for you!

The white one seems softer than the cream one!? Seems like great value for your money for a single pelt, the seller and product didn’t seem sketchy at all.

Soft and luxurious, high quality - but don't buy if you have cats
Color: Ivory White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin Shape)
I give the rug a five-star rating because it deserves it. I was really surprised at how good the rug is right out of the package (it was packaged very well too). Because this rug is relatively less expensive than many other listings of natural sheepskin rugs on Amazon and elsewhere, I wasn't expecting much. But it turned out to be thick, soft, fluffy, plush, and luxurious all over. Many years ago I have purchased another natural sheepskin rug from Amazon described to be of the same size as this one (I got the 2'*6' one), but this one is definitely much bigger in its actual size. It's hands-down a high-quality, high-value purchase if you want a nice natural sheepskin rug. I also love how beautiful the natural creamy white color is.
Now, the story takes a turn. It does have a "natural and organic" smell as mentioned in many other reviews. The smell itself is not repulsive. I don't know how long it will take for it to air out (my last rug never really got rid of the smell, but it was not a big issue since I put it on the floor. I lost the rug in cross country moving.) But now I have a cat! My cat just couldn't resist tackling the rug the moment it was laid on the floor. She probably imagined herself to be a lion or a tiger who just caught some big prey. She couldn't stop kicking and biting the rug, trying to tear it apart. She came back to it a few times after breaks already. And this is day one. I am guessing this smell does stimulate some instinctive call from her genes. In a few short moments, she managed to tear off quite some fur from the edge of the rug... The rug still looks fine since I just received it today. I am not sure how long it will last with my cat though. Before ordering, I thought about this possibility and googled whether cats and sheepskin rugs can co-exist. I got many cute picture results showing angelic cats resting contently in the long and soft sheepskin fur, looking totally adorable and peaceful. Many articles say that natural rugs calm our fluffy friends down. Well, I told myself "perfect!" Win-win for me and my cat. Now, here we are, the beginning of my cat's conquest of an imaginary lamb (which was a real lamb.) I cannot even return it since it has already been damaged by my cat... In the worst case, this rug would become a really expensive cat entertainment piece that would eventually be destroyed....:((( I even started feeling guilty for buying animal-based products - but then comforted myself by remembering reading somewhere that cow and lamb leather goods come from animals that would be slaughtered for meat consumption anyways. My cat is already eating canned food containing Australian lamb, etc, etc. Really need to stop the thoughts.
So this is my review. Beautiful rug of excellent quality and unbeatable value, unless you have a cat(s).
