These controllers are ideal forenterprise-class storage applications that callfor maximum performance, scalability andflexibility.Highest PerformanceSeries 5 controllers deliver speeds up to fivetimes faster than competing products — over250,000 IOPs and 1.2GB/s — making themideal for enterprise-class storage systems.Advanced Data ProtectionAdaptec RAID Code (ARC) deliversmaximum reliability with RAID levels 0,1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD. ARCalso offers RAID Level Migration (the abilityto easily migrate RAID levels), OnlineCapacity Expansion (expand capacitywithout powering down the server), andCopyback Hot Spare (when a failed drivehas been replaced, data is automaticallycopied from the hot spare back to therestored drive).Hybrid RAIDWith Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 the Series 5controllers offer maximum performance andreliability by combining Solid State Drives(SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in asingle array. By performing read operationsfrom the faster SSD and write operationson both the SSDs and HDDs the result istremendous performance gains over standardHDD RAID arrays. Hybrid RAID offers thebenefits of both technologies and allows abetter cost per GB ratio than comparableSSD-only RAID arrays.The Case for CacheThe fastest way for a RAID controller to fulfilla read or write request is to serve data outof its cache. Enabling the RAID controllercache offers significant performance benefits,such as reduced latency in I/O requests,bandwidth and queue depths that surpasssoftware application limits, and on-the-flyparity calculations on sequential writes.Intelligent Power ManagementThe power required by disks is a primaryongoing storage cost. Full power is maintainedto every disk whether it is actively beingused or not, which also increases coolingcosts. Adaptec Intelligent Power Managementslashes power and cooling costs by spinningdown idle disks and providing a lower powermode for active disks.One-view Storage ManagementAdaptec Storage Manager™, a one-view toolcentralizes management of all Adaptec RAIDproducts.Broad Operating System SupportExtensive operating system supportincludes all major software releases, suchas Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and UNIXvariants.Compatibility, Reliability, and SupportThe Series 5 family has been extensivelytested with third-party components todeliver the utmost in compatibility. Thecards are backed by a 3-year warranty andthe company’s legendary technical support.™
