Data Sheet | Series 7 RAID

Adaptec 6Gb/s PCIe Gen3 Product Family
Highest Port Count, Low Prole SAS/SATA RAID Adapters

(71605Q, 7805Q, 78165, 72405, 71685, 71605, 7805, 71605E)

The industry’s first 6Gb/s RAID adapter family to offer
up to 24 native SAS/SATA por ts in a low profile/MD2 form factor.

With 24-port native connectivity, the Adaptec Series 7 triples storage connectivity by replacing up to three eight-port RAID adapters, and more

than doubles the performance of competing solutions, signicantly reducing cost and power. The Series 7 family includes entr y-level and

high performance adapters available in 8, 16 and 24 native port congurations, with High Density Mini SAS connectors and cables. With the

Series 7 RAID adapters, Adaptec by PMC brings to market a number of breakthroughs for the most performance-intensive applications and

dense server environments.

Series 7 family features:

PMC’s 6Gb/s 24 port RAID-on-Chip (ROC), x8 PCIe Gen3 interface

Series 7Q with Adaptec maxCache 3.0

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

workloads, the Series 7Q with maxCache 3.0 supports write 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 work-

loads. The read caching function is also improved with maxCache 3.0, with additional

optimizations to the learned-path algorithm.

Full PCIe Gen 3 Bandwidth Utilization

While the PCIe Gen3 interface doubles bandwidth to the host compared to PCIe Gen2, it

requires at least 16 6Gb/s SAS/SATA ports to double the bandwidth to the storage devices.

Competing 6Gb/s solutions have only 8 ports, and cannot leverage that advantage.

Flash-based Cache Protection

The Series 7 family continues Adaptec by PMC’s batter y-free portfolio. Series 7 adapters

can be combined with the AFM-700 ash-based cache protection module to enable instant

cache protection. Series 7Q adapters with maxCache 3.0 include the AFM-700 module.

Advanced Data Protection and Ease of Use

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 Conguration modes for the adapter, Hybrid RAID, and Optimized Disk Utilization

(ODU) where no available space is wasted. Adaptec’s maxView provides an HTML5 web

interface, which can be used in standard desktops and mobile browsers, for all storage

conguration and management needs.
