    Product information

    PCIe RAID controllers of the SmartRAID 3100 series from Microsemi (formerly Adaptec) allow the use of SSDs as cache. This enables them to achieve particularly high I/O rates. Complete SSD pools (Full Flash RAID) are also possible. The RAID controllers are managed via a MaxView Storage Manager GUI and/or CLI.
    Advanced RAID features like Triple Mirroring, Move Array and Split Mirroring make these controllers very powerful storage tools.
