Adaptec Series 5Z RAID Adapters

Series 5Z family of SAS/SATA adapters offers full cache protection without battery installation, monitoring, or replacement costs.

The Series 5Z family of high-performance Adaptec SAS/SATA RAID adapters offers both high I/O transaction and high bandwidth processing for use with cost-effective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-performance SAS drives.

The Adaptec RAID Series 5Z adapters utilize industry-leading dual core RAID on Chip (ROC), 512MB of DDR2 write cache, and connectivity with the latest x8 PCI-Express to deliver over 250,000 I/Os 1.2GBs. Using SAS expanders, they can connect up to 256 SATA/SAS devices.

The Adaptec RAID Series 5Z adapters supports a broad range of operating systems, compatibility with more than 300 third-party devices, and full integration with Adaptec Storage Manager™ for centralized management of all Adaptec raid adapters on the network.

Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection – Save Thousands of Dollars in Data Center Costs
Adaptec Series 5Z adapters introduce Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection, a revolutionary advancement that maximizes performance and extends power savings by protecting adapter cache without battery backup units and without incurring monitoring, maintenance, replacement or disposal costs. During a system power loss, the flash memory-based cache protection can preserve data for up to 10 years.

Intelligent Power Management - Reduce Power by up to 70%
Adaptec Intelligent Power Management slashes storage power and cooling costs by spinning down idle disks and providing a lower power mode for active disks.
