Frequently Asked Questions - RS2WG160 INTEL

What operating systems are compatible with the Intel RS2WG160 controller?

The Intel RS2WG160 supports Windows Server (2008 R2, 2012, 2016, 2019), Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE, Ubuntu) and VMware ESXi 6.0 and later.

Can I mix SAS and SATA drives on the same controller?

Yes, the RS2WG160 supports both SAS 12Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s drives, but mixing in the same RAID array is not recommended due to performance differences.

How do I update the firmware on the RS2WG160?

Download the latest firmware from Intel's support website. Use the Intel RAID Web Console 2 or the MegaRAID Storage Manager to apply the update via a reboot.

What RAID levels does this controller support?

It supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60, providing flexibility for performance, redundancy, or both.

How do I install the controller?

Insert the card into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, connect the SAS/SATA cables to your backplane or drives, and install the appropriate drivers from Intel before using the system.

Does the RS2WG160 support hot-swap drives?

Yes, when used with a hot-swap capable backplane, the controller supports hot-swapping of drives. Ensure the operating system and drivers also support it.

What is the maximum capacity supported?

The maximum capacity depends on the drive sizes. The controller supports up to 128 drives with the use of expanders, and individual drives up to 18 TB have been tested.

How do I monitor the health of the RAID array?

Use Intel RAID Web Console 2 or MegaRAID Storage Manager to monitor status. The controller also supports SMART monitoring and can send alerts via email.

What is the battery backup unit (BBU) for?

The optional BBU protects cached data during a power loss, allowing it to be written to drives when power resumes. It is replaceable and typically lasts 2-3 years.

Can I use this controller in a PCIe 2.0 slot?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0, but will operate at PCIe 2.0 speeds (5 GT/s) instead of 3.0 (8 GT/s). Performance may be slightly lower.
