Microsemi Adaptec(R) Series 6E RAID: 6405E, 6805E True Hardware RAID Adapters with On-Board DRAM for Entry-Level Applications Affordable True Hardware RAID that Outperforms Software-Based HBAs and SATA Controllers The Series 6E adapters deliver the robustness of hardware RAID in an entrylevel solution. They offer the same 6 Gbps performance of our Series 6 adapters, but are optimized for platforms where a Series 6 adapter would not fit due to price, form factor, or host connectivity. The 6405E offers maximum connectivity through a 1-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface that fits into any industrial PC, workstation class or entry server class motherboard, while the 6805E has a 4-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for application that require more bandwidth. The 6405E and the 6805E support a maximum of four and eight devices, respectively, as neither supports expanders. I/O Connectivity and Data Protection With its entry-level price point, Series 6E can be used as a connectivity product, with support for up to four (6405E) or eight (6805E) SATA and SAS devices, and 128 MB of DDR2-800 MHz DRAM cache for device acceleration. At the same time, Microsemi's Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 10, and JBOD. ARC also offers RAID level migration (the ability to easily migrate RAID levels), online capacity expansion (the ability to expand capacity without powering down the server), and copyback hot spare (the ability to automatically copy data from the hot spare back to the restored drive when a failed drive has been replaced). Hybrid RAID With Hybrid RAID 1 and 10, Series 6E adapters offer maximum performance and reliability by combining solid state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs) in a single array. The Case for Cache The fastest way for a RAID adapter to fulfill a read or write request is to serve data out of its cache. With 128 MB on-board DRAM, Series 6E adapters deliver significant performance benefits. Benefits * Support both SAS and SATA devices and provide affordable, true hardware RAID with onboard DRAM cache that outperforms softwarebased HBAs and SATA controllers. * High I/O transaction and high bandwidth processing provide solutions that reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. Product Highlights * 6 Gbps throughput at each port * 4- and 8-port low-profile MD2 with support for a maximum of 4 and 8 devices respectively * Microsemi PM8013 Dual Core RAID-on-Chip * SAS 2.0 interfaces and PCIe Gen2 Host Connection * 128 MB on-board DRAM for maximum performance Intelligent Power Management Intelligent Power Management slashes power and cooling costs by up to 70% using intelligent I/O caching combined with disk drive power savings through standby and power-off modes. * Enclosure management support via LED header and SES2/SGPIO Microsemi Adaptec maxView Storage Manager maxView provides the powerful features of the Microsemi Adaptec Storage ManagerTM in an HTML5 web interface that can be viewed in standard desktop or mobile browsers without the need for separate software installation. * Extensively tested with major operating systems and third-party components * Intelligent power management * Hybrid RAID 1 and 10: SSD and HDD for maximum performance and reliability * 3-year warranty Microsemi makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee regarding the information contained herein or the suitability of its products and services for any particular purpose, nor does Microsemi assume any liability whatsoever arising out of the application or use of any product or circuit.
