Adaptec SmartRAID 3200 Series: 32i/16i/16e/8i/8eTri-Mode SAS/SATA/NVMe RAID Adapters
Host: x8/x16 PCIe Gen 4
Media: 24G SAS, 6G SATA, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe
Maximum Performance and Security With Tri-Mode Functionality
The Adaptec SmartRAID 3200 family is the industrys most versatile, fully featured and secure full RAIDenabled Tri-Mode SAS/SATA/NVMe server storage performance solution for server OEM, storage systems, data center and enterprise customers.
The SmartRAID 3200 series of PCIe Gen 4 to Tri-mode RAID adapters come in a wide range of performance optimized configurations optimized for the lowest possible cost.
Built on Microchips proven 5th generation storage controller, the SmartROC 3200, the SmartRAID 3200 product supports both x8 and x16 PCIe Gen 4 host interface adapters with 32, 16, and 8 media facing port variants for both internal and external Tri-mode connectivity. The SmartRAID 3200 Ultra products are specifically designed for the most demanding NVMe and multi-port SAS SSD applications. The SmartROC 3200 integrated PCIe Switch enables DirectPath technology - the industrys lowest latency and high bandwidth NVMe solution and the flexibility to support x1, x2, x4, and x8 wide NVMe SSDs.
These industry first 24G SAS adapters support SAS-4 connectivity as well as Microchips Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24GSAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled throughput. Native host adapter modes, RAID mode and mixed (RAID and HBA/raw devices) for all media types are also supported.
Microchips Trusted Platform support delivers a new level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project. Microchip has expanded on its unique maxCrypto Controller-Based Encryption (CBE) solution to support SAS, SATA, and now NVMe media.Product Name
