Microsemi Adaptec RAID 6405 / Storage controller (RAID) / 4 Channel / SATA 6Gb/s / SAS 6Gb/s low profile / 600 MBps / RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, JBOD, 1E, 5EE, 60 / PCIe x8 | 2270000-R

Description

Adaptec Series 6 RAID controller features PMCSierra's multi-core SRC 8 x 6 G RAID-on-Chip (ROC) and an x8 PCI Express Gen 2 host bus connection. It supports up to 256 SATA/SAS devices and features Adaptec Intelligent Power Management for improved energy-efficiency, plus Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP - pronounced "zemcap") to help data centers save thousands of dollars in operating costs.

Product features

• High performance
  Series 6 controller delivers up to 60% higher sustained sequential throughput than previous generation Adaptec controllers. At peak performance, Series 6 offers 4.8 Gbps through the SAS 2.0 interface and 4.0 Gbps through the PCI Gen 2 host interface.
• Advanced data protection
  Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD. ARC also offers RAID level migration, online capacity expansion, and copyback hot spare.
• Hybrid RAID
  With Hybrid RAID 1 and 10 the Series 6 controller offers maximum performance and reliability by combining Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in a single array.
• The case for cache
  Savvy network administrators know that enabling the RAID controller cache offers significant performance benefits, such as reduced latency in I/O requests, bandwidth and queue depths that surpass software application limits, and on-the-fly parity calculations on sequential writes.
• Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection
  RAID controllers typically employ battery backup units (BBUs) to protect cached data during power loss, but BBUs require constant monitoring and preserve data for a maximum of 72 hours during power loss. Series 6 controller introduces Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection, an advancement that solves BBU deficiencies by providing full protection to cached data with no installation, monitoring, maintenance, disposal, or replacement costs.
• Intelligent Power Management
  Intelligent Power Management (IPM) slashes power and cooling costs by up to 70% using intelligent I/O caching combined with disk drive power savings via standby and power-off modes.
