Data Center Solutions Adaptec SmartRAID 3100 Series: 24i/8i16e/16i/8i8e/8i/8e/4i 12 Gbps PCIe Gen3 SAS/SATA RAID Adapters Maximum Performance and Flexibility Data center, Enterprise IT and general consumer server environments have a broad range of requirementsfrom basic connectivity to extreme data storage capacities. Effective data access and protection is crucial to their ultimate suc - cess. The 12 Gbps SmartRAID 3100 adapters, coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS as well as acceleration and latency optimization through caching for the most performance-hungry trans- actional and database applications. Furthermore, the SmartRAID 3100, built upon the unified Smart Storage stack, unlocks all features and performance of the HBA 1100 when the drives are configured as raw devices. maxCache 4.0 SSD Caching Advanced Data Protection maxCache accelerates HDD-based RAID arrays and logical and Ease of Use drives, advancing the performance capabilities for a broader set Microchip s industry-leading Smart Storage stack delivers of application workloads. SmartRAID 315x adapters support maximum reliability and best-in-class performance that all RAID read- and write-back caching. By caching writes to a redundant levels come to expect, plus unique features like Mixed Mode SSD cache pool, maxCache 4.0 leverages the performance support (RAID and HBA devices can be used simultaneously), and latency capabilities of SSD technology for both read and adapter power management (reduces power consumption write workloads. Read performance is also improved by caching up to 30 percent), and Advanced Data Management (ADM) frequently accessed data on the SSD tier with additional optimi- features that allow data migration from existing RAID arrays to zations through the learned-path algorithm, which leverages the new ones when upgrading old hard disks or worn-out SSDs. aggregate performance of all available storage devices.
