Adaptec 2405Q Datasheet

Adaptec MaxIQ
with SSD Caching (2405Q, 5805Q, 5805ZQ)
Up to 8x higher IOPS and 70% reduced costs
Based on our industry-leading Series 5
storage controllers, the MaxIQ family of
storage controllers combines the incredible
performance of Adaptec's MaxIQ SSD
Caching technology with the enterprise-
class data protection features of Zero-
Maintenance Cache Protection and the
energy efficiency of Intelligent Power
Management to create our most advanced
storage controllers ever.
Adaptec MaxIQ controllers offer both
high-I/O transaction and high-bandwidth
processing whether configured with cost-
effective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-
performance SAS drives. Using SSD/HDD
hybrid arrays, they deliver up to 8x faster
performance and up to 70% cost savings
compared to HDD-only arrays.
Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching – up to 8x
higher IOPS
Adaptec MaxIQ controllers feature a patent-
pending Learned-Path Algorithm that
identifies frequently read ("hot") data and
copies it directly into an SSD cache (sold
separately) for superior read performance.
The caching lowers overall system latencies,
greatly improving the system CPU-to-
storage performance gap.
Adaptec MaxIQ controllers do not require
changes to storage architectures, application
software or operating systems. I/O-
intensive data centres and cloud computing
environments can convert industry-standard
servers into cost-effective, high-performance,
scale-out application storage appliances.
Reduce capital costs by up to 70%
The superior IOPS delivered by Adaptec
MaxIQ allows data centres to implement less
hardware, thereby reducing capital expenses,
as well as energy and maintenance costs.

Save thousands with Zero-Maintenance
Cache Protection
Offered on the Adaptec 5805ZQ, Zero-
Maintenance Cache Protection maximises
performance and extends power savings by
protecting controller-cached data without
battery backup units and their monitoring,
maintenance, replacement and disposal
costs. During a system power loss, the
flash memory–based cache protection can
preserve data for up to 10 years.
Reduce energy costs by up to 70% with
Intelligent Power Management
MaxIQ cards include Adaptec Intelligent
Power Management to slash power and
cooling costs by spinning down idle disks
and providing a lower power mode for active
disks.
One-view storage management
Adaptec MaxIQ controllers operate under
Adaptec Storage Manger, a one-view tool
that centralises management of all Adaptec
storage controller products.
Compatibility, reliability and support
Adaptec MaxIQ controllers support all
major operating systems, and have been
extensively tested with more than 300 third-
party components to deliver the utmost in
compatibility. The cards are backed by a
three-year warranty and Adaptec's legendary
technical support.
