Adaptec RAID 6405E
4 internal port, low-profile MD2
- Low Profile (2.535"H x 5.115"L) with PCIe x 1, SAS 2.0 & Gen 2 PCI-Express (PCIe) Unified Serial RAID controller with On-Board DRAM & Intelligent Power Management delivers the ideal price/performance & connectivity solution for entry-level server platforms, workstations & desktop systems.
Adaptec Series 6E SAS/SATA RAID adapters deliver the robustness of hardware RAID & the Adaptec RAID Code, enterprise class management features, & full OS support, including open source drivers Â- into the entry-level RAID space. The Series 6E are optimized for platforms where a Series 6 adapter would not fit in from a price, form factor or host connectivity standpoint.
Series 6E adapters support SAS & SATA devices, & have been qualified with the same systems, motherboards, backplanes & drives as Series 6 adapters. They include the same drivers, BIOS & storage management tools as Series 6 adapters & do not require additional training or qualification. Series 6E adapters have also been thoroughly tested with entry-level storage devices for desktop use & the entry-level server platforms, workstations & motherboards most typically used for basic servers, performance workstations or industrial PCs.
I/O Connectivity & Data Protection
With its attractive price point, Adaptec Series 6E can be used as a connectivity product, with support for up to 8 (6805E) or 4 (6405E) SATA & SAS devices, & 128MB of DDR2-800 MHz DRAM cache for device acceleration. At the same time, the Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 10 & JBOD. ARC also offers RAID Level Migration (the ability to easily migrate RAID levels), Online Capacity Expansion (expand capacity without powering down the server), & Copyback Hot Spare (when a failed drive has been replaced, data is automatically copied from the hot spare back to the restored drive).
The Case for Cache
the quickest way for a RAID adapter to fulfill a read or write request is to serve data out of its cache. Savvy network administrators know that enabling the RAID adapter cache offers significant performance benefits, such as reduced latency in I/O requests, bandwidth & queue depths that surpass software application limits, & on-the-fly parity calculations on sequential writes.
Hybrid RAID
With Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 Series 6E adapters offer maximum performance & reliability by combining Solid State Drives (SSDs) & Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in a single array. Performing read operations from the faster SSD & write operations on both the SSDs & HDD results in tremendous performance gains over standard HDD RAID arrays. Hybrid RAID offers the benefits of both technologies & allows a better cost-per-operation.
