PMC-Sierra launches 6Gb/sec SATA/SAS RAID controllers for the entry-level market segment
PMC-Sierra
Adaptec 6E RAID controllers
PMC-Sierra has launched what it claims is the industry’s first true hardware 6Gb/sec SATA/SAS RAID controllers with on-board DRAM cache for the entry-level market segment.
The Adaptec range of 6E RAID controllers enable HBA and hardware RAID functionality in a single card
Based on PMC’s PM8013 SRC 6Gb/s RAID-on-Chip (RoC) and ARC RAID stack, the Series 6 four-port 6405E and eight-port 6805E controllers also leverage compatible GUI and management-utility tools featured with all Adaptec RAID controllers.
According to the company, the Series 6E controllers accelerate performance in spinning media and overcome the limitations of software-only entry-level RAID and hardware RAID without DRAM caching by offering HBA and hardware RAID functionality with caching in a single card.
Key specifications
- Adaptec RAID 6405E: four-port, LP/MD2 form factor optimised for maximum host connectivity with its PCIe x1 host interface that fits into any workstation, industrial PC or entry-server platform
- Adaptec RAID 6805E: eight-port, LP/MD2 form factor with bandwidth optimised PCIex4 host connectivity for higher throughput
- Both products use PMC’s PM8013 SRC 6Gb/s RoC, SAS 2.0, PCIe 2.0 and 128 MB DDR2-800 memory, and the same RAID stack, drivers and tools as other products in the Series 6 range
- Qualified with the full ecosystem supported by all Series 6 RAID controllers, with additional focus on storage devices and motherboards for workstation use, entry-server platforms and industrial PCs
- All Series 6 products support green alternatives by offering technology such as intelligent power management and streamlined product package sleeves
