Adaptec SmartRAID 3100 Controller Card - 4-Port, 12Gbps, Low Profile

The Adaptec SmartRAID 3100 Controller Card is a high-performance RAID adapter designed to provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS for performance-hungry transactional and database applications. With a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps and support for 12 Gbps SSDs, this controller card ensures accelerated performance, low latency, and optimized caching.

The SmartRAID 3100 adapter features integrated cache backup and supports up to 1.7 million IOPS. It is available in a low-profile LP/MD2 form factor with up to 24 native ports. Additionally, most adapter SKUs come with SSD caching capabilities.

One of the key advancements of the SmartRAID 3100 series is the support for read and write-back caching. The maxCache 4.0 technology leverages the performance and latency benefits of SSD technology by caching writes to a redundant SSD cache pool. This results in improved read and write workloads for a broader set of application workloads.

The SmartRAID 3100 Series also integrates flash-based cache protection, eliminating the need for batteries. The Microsemi Adaptec ASCM-35F capacitor module provides instant cache protection and has a five-year lifetime. The Smart firmware continuously monitors the capacitor module to ensure data safety during power loss situations.

In terms of data protection and ease of use, the SmartRAID 3100 controller card offers Microsemi's Smart Storage stack. This stack delivers maximum reliability and performance across all RAID levels. Unique features include Mixed Mode support, adapter power management to reduce power consumption, and advanced data management features for seamless data migration when upgrading storage devices.

The Adaptec maxView management software provides an intuitive HTML5 web interface for easy storage configuration and management. It supports both local and remote management and offers plugins for major storage management software suites used in enterprises and data centers.
