Hybrid RAID 1 & 10: SSD + HDD
for Maximum Performance and
Reliability
>
With an industry-leading dual core RAID
on Chip (ROC), DDR2 533MHz write
cache, support for up to 256 SATA/SAS
devices (using SAS expanders), and an x8
PCI Express host interface bus connection,
the Series 5 controllers delivers impressive
performance numbers — over 250,000 I/Os
and 1.2GB/s. These controllers are ideal for
enterprise-class storage applications that call
for maximum performance, scalability and
flexibility.
Highest Performance
Series 5 controllers deliver speeds up to five
times faster than competing products — over
250,000 IOPs and 1.2GB/s — making them
ideal for enterprise-class storage systems.
Advanced Data Protection
Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers
maximum reliability with RAID levels 0,
1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD. 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).
Hybrid RAID
With Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 the Series 5
controllers offer maximum performance and
reliability by combining Solid State Drives
(SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in a
single array. By performing read operations
from the faster SSD and write operations
on both the SSDs and HDDs the result is
tremendous performance gains over standard
HDD RAID arrays. Hybrid RAID offers the
benefits of both technologies and allows a
better cost per GB ratio than comparable
SSD-only RAID arrays.
The Case for Cache
The fastest way for a RAID controller to fulfill
a read or write request is to serve data out
of its cache. Enabling the RAID controller
cache offers significant performance benefits,
such as reduced latency in I/O requests,
bandwidth and queue depths that surpass
software application limits, and on-the-fly
parity calculations on sequential writes.
Intelligent Power Management
The power required by disks is a primary
ongoing storage cost. Full power is maintained
to every disk whether it is actively being
used or not, which also increases cooling
costs. Adaptec Intelligent Power Management
slashes power and cooling costs by spinning
down idle disks and providing a lower power
mode for active disks.
One-view Storage Management
Adaptec Storage Manager™, a one-view tool
centralizes management of all Adaptec RAID
products.
Broad Operating System Support
Extensive operating system support
includes all major software releases, such
as Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and UNIX
variants.
Compatibility, Reliability, and Support
The Series 5 family has been extensively
tested with third-party components to
deliver the utmost in compatibility. The
cards are backed by a 3-year warranty and
the company’s legendary technical support.
