Adaptec 2274100-R
The Adaptec Series 7 RAID adapter family features PMC's 24
port RAID-on-Chip (ROC), which combines a x8 PCIe Gen3
interface with 6Gb/s SAS ports to enable a new generation of
high- performance RAID adapters that are unmatched by any
other ROC in the industry. Adaptec Series 7 RAID adapters
are available with 8, 16, or 24 native SAS/SATA ports.
While the PCIe Gen3 interface doubles bandwidth to the host
compared to PCIe Gen2, it requires at least 16 6Gb/s
SAS/SATA ports to double the bandwidth to the storage
devices. Competing 6Gb/s solutions have only 8 ports, and
cannot leverage that advantage.
New Levels of Performance
Series 7 adapters perform at up to 6.6 GB/s on sequential
reads and up to 5.7 GB/s on sequential writes, more than
doubling the performance of competing host-based RAID
adapters. With 16 direct-connected solid-state drives
(SSDs), Series 7 adapters can deliver over 530,000 IOPS -
nearly 10x the performance of previous-generation RAID
adapters.
Advanced Data Protection
Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with
RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 (71605E supports
0, 1, 1E, and 10, only) . ARC also offers RAID Level
Migration (the ability to easily migrate RAID levels),
Online Capacity Expansion (expand capacity without powering
down the server), and Copyback Hot Spare (when a failed
drive has been replaced, data is automatically copied from
the hot spare back to the restored drive). New to Series 7
is its auto configuration capability. Users can operate in
HBA mode (expose drives to the host directly) or Simple
Volume mode (use fast DRAM cache to reduce latency and
improve performance), without the need to use setup tools.
In RAID mode, they can mix and match all devices and handle
them at the same time.
Connectivity
Series 7 adapters support all types of devices including
drives, tapes, autoloaders, external RAID systems. They
support migration of disk drives from standard Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs) as well as onboard SATA or SAS interfaces
from the motherboard.
Introducing mini SAS HD
Connectors
These connectors allow for greater flexibility in
configuration options by supporting up to 16 native SAS/SATA
ports in a Low-Profile MD2 form factor and up to 24 SAS/SATA
ports in a full-height half-length form factor. The new
connectors can be combined with a wide range of Adaptec SAS
HD cables, including straight connectors or Adaptec's first
to market right angle connectors.
Zero-Maintenance Cache
Protection (ZMCP)
Series 7 adapters can be combined with AFM-700, our
third-generation flash-based cache protection module(sold
separately) to enable instant battery-free protection of the
data within the cache.
Adaptec maxView Storage
Manager
Adaptec maxView Storage Manager provides the powerful
features of Adaptec Storage Manager in an HTML5 web
interface that can be viewed in standard desktop or mobile
browsers without the need for separate software
installation.
