This entry-level Adaptec Unified Serial®
(SATA/SAS) RAID controller is designed
to support hardware hardware RAID 0, 1,
1E, 10 and JBOD while offering direct I/O
connectivity for SATA/SAS tape devices and
hard disk drives. Equipped with an industry-
leading dual core RAID on Chip (ROC), this
family offers 128MB of DDR2 533MHz write
cache and supports up to 128 devices using
SAS expanders. It offers a x8 PCI Express
host interface bus connection in a low-profile
MD2 form factor. This Adaptec Unified
Serial Controller offers high bandwidth for
I/O applications and at the same time basic
hardware RAID functionality that is fully
independent of the host and operating system
and compatible with other Adaptec RAID
controller families.

Intelligent Power Management
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

MaxIQ Compatibility
All Adaptec Unified Serial controllers are built
to support Adaptec’s revolutionary MaxIQ
SSD caching. MaxIQ Caching Software
introduces a patent-pending Learned-Path
Algorithm that identifies frequently-read
(“hot”) data, and optimizes “reads” by copying
this data directly into an SSD cache pool for
faster retrieval in future requests. Available
only on Adaptec Unified Serial products.
