SERIES 5Z DATA SHEET Adaptec 3Gb/s SATA & SAS RAID Family with Intelligent Power Management & Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (5405Z, 5445Z, 5805Z) Unified Serial(R) (SATA/SAS) RAID Controllers Deliver Maximum Performance, Energy Efficiency and Operating Cost Savings Built upon on our industry-leading Series 5 RAID controllers, Series 5Z cards feature a dual core RAID on Chip (ROC), DDR2 533MHz write cache, and an x8 PCI Express host bus connection. They support up to 256 SATA/SAS devices and feature Adaptec Intelligent Power Management for improved energy-efficiency, plus Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP -- pronounced "zemcap") to help data centers save thousands of dollars in operating costs. Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection Highest Performance Featuring 4GB of NAND flash memory with super capacitor technology, Series 5Z controllers instantly save cache contents in the event of system power loss. The super capacitor charges instantly while the system is booting, cache protection is available within minutes of installation, and stored data is preserved for up to 10 years. And, since it is flash-based, systems don't need to be shut down for battery replacement. Enclosure management support via LED header and SES2/ SGPIO Intelligent Power Management -No data loss from power failures: Replaces lithium ion batteries - Low Operating Costs: No installation, monitoring, maintenance, disposal or replacement costs due to batteries - Maintenance-free cached data protection -Instant RAID cache protection -Environmentally conscious - No toxic battery disposal - Simplified IATA compliance Series 5Z 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, Online Capacity Expansion, and Copyback Hot Spare. Hybrid RAID With Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 the Series 5Z 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. RAID controllers typically employ battery backup units (BBUs) to protect cached data during power loss, but BBUs require constant monitoring and preserve data for a maximum of 72 hours during power loss. Adaptec Series 5Z controllers with Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection provide full protection to cached data with no installation, monitoring, maintenance, disposal, or replacement costs. Intelligent Power Management (IPM) slashes power and cooling costs by up to 70% using intelligent I/O caching combined with disk drive power savings via standby and power-off modes. One-view Storage Management Adaptec Storage ManagerTM, a one-view tool centralizes management of all Adaptec RAID products. Broad Operating System Support The Series 5Z family supports all major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, VMware and FreeBSD.
