Microsemi Adaptec® Series 8 Family: 81605Z/Q, 8885/Q, 8805, 8405

12 Gbps PCIe Gen3 High-Port SAS/SATA RAID Adapters

Beneﬁts

• Ideal for 12 Gbps performance-hungry

server and workstation platforms, without

compromising proven Microsemi reliability

• Provides high I/O transaction and high

bandwidth processing, solutions that reduce

energy consumption and maintenance costs

Highlights

• maxCache 3.0 caching software (Series 8Q

only)

• Cache protection via third-generation ZMCP;

AFM-700 (integrated on 81605Z and 81605ZQ,

optional for rest of Series 8 products)

• Up to 16 native SAS/SATA ports in a LP/MD2

design

• 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps compatibility with HDD or

SSD SAS/SATA devices

• 12 Gbps throughput per SAS port using

mini-SAS HD connectors

• Microsemi's 12 Gbps RAID-on-Chip (ROC),

x8 PCIe Gen3 interface with 12 Gbps SAS ports

to enable a new generation of performance

• >700K IOPS; 6.6 Gbps sequential reads,

6.2Gbps sequential writes

Maximum Performance

Data center, IT, and general consumer server environments have a broad

range of requirements—from basic connectivity to extreme data storage

capacities. The effectiveness at which their data is accessed and protected

is crucial to their ultimate success. The 12 Gbps PCIe Gen3 Series 8 RAID

adapters, coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, provide maximum read/write

bandwidth and IOPS for the most performance-hungry transactional and

database applications.

Series 8Q with Microsemi Adaptec maxCache 3.0

Advancing the performance capabilities of SSD caching to a broader set of

application workloads, the Series 8Q with maxCache 3.0 supports read-

and write-back caching. By caching writes to a redundant SSD cache pool

(RAID1, RAID1E, or RAID5), maxCache 3.0 leverages the performance and

latency capabilities of SSD technology for both read and write workloads. The

read caching function is also improved with maxCache 3.0, with additional

optimizations to the learned-path algorithm. maxCache 3.0 SSD caching

software is the only caching solution that supports up to 2 TB of SSD cache.

Integrated Cache Protection

The Series 8 family continues Microsemi's battery-free portfolio. Series 8 adapters

can be combined with the Microsemi Adaptec AFM-700 ﬂash-based cache

protection module (sold separately) to enable instant cache protection. New with

Series 8, the 81605Z and 81605ZQ models have ﬂash backup embedded

on the board, eliminating the need for a daughterboard and further enabling

Microsemi customers to do more with less.

Advanced Data Protection and Ease of Use

Microsemi's Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with an

industry-leading feature set, including all of the RAID levels the industry has

come to expect, plus unique features like ﬂexible conﬁguration modes for the

adapter, hybrid RAID, and optimized disk utilization (ODU) where no available

space is wasted. Microsemi's Adaptec maxView provides an HTML5 web

interface that can be used in standard desktops and mobile browsers for all

storage conﬁguration and management needs.
