Microchip Adaptec SmartRAID 3200 Series 3204-8i - Kontrollerkort (RAID) - 8 Kanal - SATA 6Gb/s / SAS 24Gb/s / PCIe 4.0 (NVMe) - RAID RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 - PCIe 4.0 x8

The Adaptec® SmartRAID 3204-8i RAID adapter offers maximum performance with SAS/SATA/NVMe tri-mode functionality for server OEM, storage systems, data center, and enterprise customers than previous generations.

Built on Microchip's proven 5th generation SmartROC 3200 storage controller, the SmartRAID 3204-8i supports a x8 PCIe Gen 4 host interface with 8 media facing port variants for internal tri-mode connectivity. New technologies available with the SmartRAID 3200 family includes DirectPath, which integrates a PCIe switch for the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth NVMe solution and Microchip's Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled through-put. Native HBA modes for all media types are also supported, which offers the lowest latency for memory-based PCIe storage.

SmartRAID 3200 RAID adapters include Microchip’s Trusted Platform support which 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, and support Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software.

The SmartRAID 3200 RAID adapters also support both Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) for intelligent backplane management and SFF's Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators. Also supported are industry leading storage management including standards-based Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE) to simplify integration and and Microchip's ChipLink Diagnostic Tool with signal integrity analysis and context sensitive documentation to accelerate time to market.
