Adaptec SmartRAID 3200 Series: 32i/16i/16e/8i
Tri-Mode SAS/SATA/NVMe RAID Adapters
Host: x8/x16 PCIe Gen 4
Media: 24G SAS, 6G SATA, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe
Best-in-Class Ultra Performance
The SmartRAID 3200 series delivers a comprehensive feature set for best-in-class performance. The distinctly labelled SmartRAID Ultra adapters offer a x16 host interface that doubles bandwidth to 29.6 GB/s, 4x the previous generation. Non-ultra adapters still double bandwidth compared to previous generations due to the Gen 4 PCIe interface. While SmartRAID adapters commonly use 72-bit high-speed DDR4 3200 MHz, SmartRAID Ultra boards ship with either 144-bit or 72-bit DDR4 3200 MHz memory, enabling the highest throughput on redundant RAID writes and NVMe ControllerBased Encryption (CBE). The 144-bit boards are marked with a "p" for performance (for example, SmartRAID 3258p-16i) and support up to 11.7 GB/s throughput on RAID5 redundant writes, which is 45% higher than 72-bit products and 17 GB/s throughput on NVMe CBE-enabled LDs using maxCrypto Technology.
maxCrypto Controller-Based Encryption
The SmartRAID encryption enabled adapters (denoted by /e) provide the industrys only data-at-rest CBE solution now enabled for NVMe in addition to SAS and SATA devices. maxCrypto technology encrypts data on RAID arrays and single-drive RAID 0 with AES 256 encryption. It is accelerated by silicon engines with all NVMe, SAS and SATA devices that are supported in RAID (SSDs and HDDs). It supports local encryption key management and is FIPS 140-2/Level 1 certification ready, providing a superior solution over self-encrypting drives.
