Best Power Efficiency Choice for Data Center - Dual M.2 build RAID0 for better performance - PCI support extend life cycle for legacy device - Quad Intel I210 Server Class GbE delivering high networking bandwidth - Platinum-grade power efficiency with ultra longevity solid CAP & Beat Thermal Choke III
Micro ATX compact with Highest Power Efficiency The ASUS P10S-M-DC is an Intel Greenlow platform server board based on the Intel C232 chipset provides dual server-class Intel Ethernet , native 6 SATA 6G, 2 PCI Express 3.0 slots and dual M.2 with extreme power efficiency which is the best candidate for data center compute nodes. The 9.6 x 9.6 micro ATX form factor can be easily integrated in short-depth chassis to greatly increase rack compute density.
Dual M.2 Boots I/O Performance & Data Redundancy In order to bring up better performance or back-up solution for internal OS drive scenario, we design dual M.2 spec on selected server boards. With this design, configuring dual M.2 devices as RAID 0 to boost read performance up to 84% and write performance up to 40% compared to single M.2; moreover, if users require data redundancy of OS drive, RAID 1 will be a good choice with dual M.2 storage devices.
Next-Gen Storage NVMe Support Next-Gen Storage technology NVMe is where the industry is headed. By taking new NVM technology closer to the CPU with the benefits of less latency and higher maximum bandwidth, NVMe solution is the fastest internal storage interface today.
There are two solutions to implement NVMe application on P10S series. One is PCIe interface solution directly plug the PCIeNVMe devices or through ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 adapter (ASUS PCIE-NVME1). The other is M.2 interface solution through ASUS-made M.2 to U.2 adapter (ASUS M2-NVME1). By using mini-SAS HD to min-SAS HD cable or mini-SAS HD to SFF-8639 cable, the ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 or M.2 to U.2 adapters offer flexible NVMe upgrade package on different usage scenario.
Optional PIKE II 3x08 Series SAS 12Gb/s solution ASUS PIKE II 3x08 series is the latest 12Gb/s SAS and PCI-E 3.0 high reliability enterprise storage solution. It meets users needs with support 12Gb/s SAS storage and various RAID levels data protection. Just placing the PIKE II card, P10S Series can immediately enlarge the capacity and improve the performance, making it the great upgrade option.
ASUS Platinum-Grade Power Efficiency ASUS P10S-M-DC server board is designed with the titianium power solution with the hand-chosen components and provide titanium efficiency which is up to 95%. The titianum power solution consists 3 pillars to achieve the 95% platinum efficiency: 12K Ultra Longevity Solid Capacitor ,Beat Thermal Choke III and Digi+ VRM. 12K solid capacitors which is able to withstand up to 1,200,000 hours of temperatures as high as 65C (12K hours@105C). The 3rd generation Beat Thermal Choke with lower DCR and result in 3
