Getting to Know Your Next-Generation Adaptec® Tri-Mode Adapters
Our Comprehensive Line of Storage Adapters Supports the Industry’s Broadest Range of Applications and Delivers Reliable Solutions That Meet Your Long-Term Storage Strategies
Our new Adaptec® PCIe Gen 4 NVMe™ and 24G SAS Tri-Mode RAID and HBA Storage Adapters provide essential next-generation NVMe and SAS-4 connectivity and manageability with market leading performance while delivering new levels of security required for the most-demanding data center infrastructures.
Key product highlights include:
• Industry’s highest storage fanout – up to 32 Tri-Mode lanes
• Industry’s highest bandwidth – includes x16 “Ultra” PCIe Gen4 host interface option
• Delivers four times the storage performance over previous generations
• Integrated PCIe switch for ultra-low latency
• Controller Based Encryption (CBE) available on most RAID adapters
• Universal Backplane Management (UBM) and the Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) Support
• Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE)
What’s New with Tri-Mode Storage?
Adaptec Tri-Mode adapters provide new connectivity options with the flexibility to mix and match NVMe, SAS, SATA media within a single drive bay. The SmartRAID 3200 and HBA 1200 adapters deliver between 8 to 32 ports of NVMe 4.0 and/or 24G SAS drive support - the largest port count in the industry - to maximize connectivity. Our Tri-Mode adapters deliver the maximum bandwidth and IOPS performance with both x8 and x16 PCIe Gen 4 CPU interface options, four times performance improvement over previous generations. Advanced capabilities like Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) SAS Link aggregation technology deliver greater than 99% expander-attached link efficiency to increase performance of high-density storage solutions utilizing lower cost SAS and SATA media. Microchip’s direct path technology, built around an embedded PCIe Gen 4 switch, helps keep latency to a minimum.
