Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the x220 server is the Intel C600 chipset, which delivers enterprise-grade I/O management and reliability. The 20 MB processor cache accelerates data retrieval for virtualization and database applications, while the 16 MB graphics memory supports basic console output.
Storage is handled through two internal 2.5" drive bays, compatible with SATA SSDs or HDDs. The integrated Serial ATA/600 controller ensures 6 Gb/s throughput per port, with RAID 0 and 1 configurations available for performance or redundancy. Two PCIe expansion slots allow for additional network, storage, or accelerator cards.
