Description

• New levels of performance

  Series 7 adapter performs at up to 6.6 Gbps on sequential reads and up to 2.6 Gbps on sequential writes on parity RAID 5, more than doubling the performance of competing host-based RAID adapters. With 16 direct-connected solid-state drives (SSDs), Series 7 adapter can deliver up to 450,000 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. 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).

• Connectivity

  Series 7 adapter supports all types of devices including drives, tapes, autoloaders, external RAID systems. It supports migration of disk drives from standard Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) as well as onboard SATA or SAS interfaces from the motherboard.

• 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 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.
