Adaptec 7805 Kit 2274200-R Scheda Tecnica

SERIES 7   

DATA SHEET

2nd Generation 6Gb/s solutions with game changing performance

(72405, 71685, 71605, 7805, 71605E)

The Adaptec Series 7 RAID adapter family features 

PMC’s 24 port PM8015 RAID-on-Chip (ROC), 

which combines a x8 PCIe Gen3 interface with 

6Gb/s SAS ports to enable a new generation of high-

performance RAID adapters that are unmatched  

by any other ROC in the industry. Adaptec Series 7 

RAID adapters are available with 8, 16 or 24 native 

SAS/SATA ports.
While the PCIe Gen3 interface doubles bandwidth 

to the host compared to PCIe Gen2, it requires 

at least 16 6Gb/s SAS/SATA ports to double the 

bandwidth to the storage devices. Competing 6Gb/s 

solutions have only 8 ports, and cannot leverage  

that advantage. 

Series 7 adapters perform at up to 6.6 GB/s on 

sequential reads and up to 2.6 GB/s 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 adapters 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 (71605E supports RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10). 

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). 

 

New to Series 7 is its auto configuration capability. 

Users can operate in HBA mode (expose drives  

to the host directly) or Simple Volume mode  

(use fast DRAM cache to reduce latency and improve 

performance), without the need to use setup tools.  

In RAID mode, they can mix and match all devices 

and handle them at the same time.
Connectivity

Series 7 adapters support all types of devices 

including drives, tapes, autoloaders, external RAID 

systems. They support migration of disk drives 

from standard Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) as well 

 as onboard SATA or SAS interfaces from the 

motherboard. 
Introducing 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 new 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.
Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) 

Series 7 adapters can be combined with our third-

generation AFM-700 flash-based cache protection 

module (sold separately) to enable instant battery-

free protection of the data within the cache. 
Adaptec maxView Storage Manager 

Adaptec maxView provides the powerful features 

of Adaptec Storage Manager™ in an HTML5 web 

interface that can be viewed in standard desktop 

or mobile browsers without the need for separate 

software installation.
Hybrid RAID

 

With Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 the Series 7 adapters 

offer maximum performance and reliability by 

combining SSDs and HDDs in a single mirroring 

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.
Broad Operating System Support

 

Series 7 adapters support all major operating 

systems, including Windows 8, Linux, VMware  

and FreeBSD. 
Compatibility, Reliability, and Support

 

Series 7 adapters have been extensively tested with 

third-party components to deliver the utmost in 

compatibility. They are backed by a 3-year warranty 

and the company’s legendary technical support.
