Privacy PolicyData is generating on an exponential scale, and as a result, data storage requirements are rising. Based on our unified, hardened Smart Storage stack, our Adaptec® Smart Storage RAID adapters meet these demanding storage requirements for data center deployments. Leading data center clients evaluate and deploy these solutions to address the most important challenges of performance and reliability, simplify and automate deployment and management and secure critical assets. With a comprehensive portfolio of storage solutions and design support, we can help you build a modern, scalable and future-proof data center.
NVMe® Done Right
Our PCIe® Gen 4- 24G SAS-4 tri-mode RAID adapters are ideal for enabling PCIe Gen 4 storage capabilities for hyperscale applications, such as SMB and enterprise storage, with proven reliability. Offering maximum bandwidth, Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and endless data center design flexibility with the ability to operate SAS, SATA and NVMe storage devices in a single bay, these devices can meet the demands of the diverse and growing enterprise storage market.
SmartRAID 3200 24G SAS PCIe Gen 4 SAS/SATA/NVMe RAID Adapters
Full-featured SmartRAID 3200 RAID adapters include:
- The industry's first 24G SAS adapter support for industry-standard SAS-4 connectivity
- Support for both ×8 and ×16 PCIe Gen 4 host interface adapters with 32, 16 and 8 media-facing port variants for internal and external tri-mode connectivity
- Integrated PCIe switch that enables DirectPath technology for the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth NVMe solution with the flexibility to support ×1, ×2, ×4 and ×8 wide NVMe SSDs
- Best-in-class ultra-performance adapters with a ×16 host interface which doubles the bandwidth to 29.6 GB/s (four times that of the previous generation)
- Ultra-performance adapters support up to 11.7 GB/s throughput on RAID 5 redundant writes (45% higher than 72-bit products) and 17 Gbps throughput on NVMe CBE-enabled logical devices using maxCrypto™ encryption
- Our Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology aggregates expander-attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled throughput that supports all media types
- Hardware Root of Trust, Controller Based Encryption (CBE) and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software for a new level of security built right into the device
- Support for Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) intelligent backplane management and Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators
- Industry-standard management tools such as PLDM/RDE, certified OS support, proven compatibility, interoperability and expert support throughout deployment
SmartRAID 3100 12G SAS PCIe Gen 3 SAS/SATA RAID Adapters
Full-featured SmartRAID 3100 RAID adapters include:
- Maximum 12G read/write bandwidth and up to 1.7 million IOPS when coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs
- Significant power savings with the industry's lowest-power 28 nm SmartROC 3100 SAS/SATA protocol controller for a significant reduction of data center operating expenses
- SmartRAID 3162-8i/e is the industry’s only controller-based encryption solution with a fully integrated on-board supercapacitor for cache protection
- The ability to unlock all the features and performance of the 12 Gbps HBA 1100 series of HBAs when the drives are configured as raw devices
- Entry-level SmartRAID 3100E RAID adapters for cost-effective hardware RAID solutions to support deployments that use fewer drives and can benefit from caching capabilities but do not need the full cache backup or advanced RAID levels
- Drivers for all major operating systems and a comprehensive set of management tools (including a GUI and CLI), enabling unified management across your server and storage infrastructure
