Microchip Adaptec SmartRAID 3102-8i - storage controller (RAID) - SATA 6Gb/s / SAS 12Gb/s - PCIe 3.0 x8
The ADAPTEC SMARTRAID 3102-8I is a storage controller designed for business and IT environments requiring robust data management. This RAID card supports both SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s drives, connecting via a PCIe 3.0 x8 bus interface. It features 8 internal ports with two SFF-8643 connectors, enabling the integration of up to 256 SAS or SATA devices through expanders. The controller supports various RAID levels, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 50, 60, 1 ADM, and 10 ADM, providing options for data redundancy and performance optimization. Key features like mixed mode operation, adapter dynamic power management, and support for native 4K sector devices address common data storage challenges. The 2294800-R is suitable for servers and workstations needing advanced storage capabilities without integrated cache protection. It includes an additional low-profile vented bracket for flexible installation.
