Adaptec 3258C16IX2S SmartRAID 16Pt PCIe Gen4 SAS SATA NVMe RAID ControllerThe Adaptecr SmartRAID 3258-16i /e 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 3258-16i /e supports a x8 PCIe Gen 4 host interface with 16 media facing port variants for internal Tri-Mode connectivity. 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 adapters include Microchip's Trusted Platform support which delivers a level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project. For additional layers of security, Microchip has now expanded on its unique Adaptec maxCrypto Controller-Based Encryption (CBE) solution to support SAS, SATA, and now NVMe media, and also supports Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software. The SmartRAID 3200 RAID adapters also support both Intelr 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)/Redfishr 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.Features: Supported storage drive interfaces: SAS-4,Serial ATA III Harmonized System (HS) code: 84733080 RAID levels: 0,1,5,6,10,50,60 Host interface: PCI Express x8 S.M.A.R.T. support: Y Internal memory: 8192 Internal memory type: DDR4 Data transfer rate: 24 Height: 64 Width: 167 Memory clock speed: 3200 Number of devices supported: 16 PCI Express slots version: 4.0 Windows operating systems supported: Windows 10 Linux operating systems supported: Y SSD support: Y RAID Level Migration: Y Online Capacity Expansion: Y Learn More PCI Express RAID SAS NVMe
