Adaptec 12Gb/s PCIe Gen3 Product Family
High Port Count SAS/SATA RAID Adapters
(81605ZQ, 8885Q, 8885, 8805)
Maximum Performance for 12Gb/s Ecosystems
Data center, IT, and general consumer server environments have a broad range of requirements — from basic connectivity to extreme data
storage capacities. The effectiveness at which their data is accessed and protected is crucial to their ultimate success. Adaptec 12Gb/s PCIe
Gen3 Series 8 RAID adapters, coupled with 12Gb/s SSDs, provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS for the most performance-hungry
transactional and database applications.
The Series 8 family features:
1
PMC's PM8063 RAID-on-Chip (ROC), x8 PCIe Gen3 interface
with 12Gb/s SAS ports to enable a new generation of performance
2
16 native SAS/SATA ports in a LP/MD2 design
3
12Gb/s throughput with mini SAS HD connectors
4
>700K IOPS; 6.6GB/s sequential reads, 5.2GB/s sequential writes
New maxCache Plus Introduces Tiering Technology
The ability to assign different categories of data to different types of storage media is
essential for enhancing data access (performance) while reducing overall storage costs.
Adaptec maxCache Plus introduces tiering that provides virtualized pools of storage
using any block level storage device. Series 8Q products with maxCache Plus caching
and tiering are the most optimized server storage solutions in the market.
Integrated Cache Protection
The Series 8 family continues Adaptec by PMC's battery-free portfolio. Series 8 adapters
can be combined with the AFM-700 flash-based cache protection module (sold separately)
to enable instant cache protection. New with Series 8, the Adaptec 81605ZQ has flash
backup embedded on the board, eliminating the need for a daughterboard and further
enabling Adaptec by PMC customers to do more with less.
Advanced Data Protection and Ease of Use
Advanced data protection and ease of use have not been forgotten in Series 8. Adaptec
RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with an industry-leading feature set,
including all of the RAID levels the industry has come to expect, plus unique features like
Flexible Configuration modes for the adapter, Hybrid RAID, and Optimized Disk Utilization
(ODU) where no available space is wasted. Adaptec's maxView provides an HTML5 web
interface, which can be used in standard desktops and mobile browsers, for all storage
configuration and management needs.
