IBM - 24R8076 - IBM ServeRAID 8k SAS Controller w/battery

The IBM 24R8076 ServeRAID 8k is a SAS RAID controller with battery backup, designed to provide hardware RAID functionality for IBM server storage configurations. Installed in a PCIe expansion slot, it enables SAS drive connectivity and RAID features for data protection and improved availability in business-critical environments.

This controller is typically used in IBM System x deployments where you need reliable RAID for internal drive bays, supporting common RAID levels depending on system configuration and firmware. For complete storage builds, it is often paired with enterprise SSD or high-capacity HDD options, and can be complemented with an HBA in environments where non-RAID SAS connectivity is preferred.

Key Features

Below are the key technical characteristics and deployment benefits of the ServeRAID 8k controller.

• IBM ServeRAID 8k SAS RAID controller architecture to enable hardware RAID offload for consistent storage performance.
• Battery-backed cache (battery included) to help protect cached write data during unexpected power events.
• SAS interface support to connect SAS hard drives or SSDs for enterprise server internal storage configurations.
• PCIe add-in controller form factor to integrate into compatible IBM System x server PCIe expansion slots.
• RAID capability (RAID levels dependent on platform/firmware) to support redundancy and uptime for critical workloads.
• Designed for compatibility with IBM System x / xSeries platforms to support common families such as System x3650, x3550, and xSeries rack servers (verify exact server support by FRU/option list).
• Enterprise-grade controller design to support 24/7 operation in data center and server room environments.
• Suitable for OS and hypervisor deployments to improve storage resilience for virtualization hosts and application servers.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished RAID controllers are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of installed IBM server platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control infrastructure budgets compared to buying new.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. As an international supplier shipping worldwide from Denmark, we support professional buyers sourcing refurbished IBM components for maintenance, upgrades, and spares planning.
