"Microsemi has become a key player in the storage market and the addition of an entry-level RAID card to expand its proven 12G Series 8 SAS/SATA product line is another example of that commitment.
Entry level hardware RAID is an essential technology to maximize the performance of SSDs or provide critical data protection in a cost-effective redundancy solution."

"We had great success with the Microsemi Adaptec Series 6E 6 Gbps RAID products.
With the Series 8E 12Gbps RAID adapters we see overall performance improvement with SSDs and the reliability and robustness of hardware RAID that are important criteria for our customers."

"Our new 12Gb/s SAS SSDs dramatically improve response times to dynamic and mission critical data in cloud and datacenter environments, but an end-to-end 12Gb/s SAS architecture is a critical part of the foundation of the build out.
Products like Microsemi Adaptec's Series 8 adapters are key elements that will allow data center architects to realize the full benefits of our industry-leading SSD performance."

"The Microsemi Adaptec Series 8 line is a perfect fit for enterprises looking to vastly improve the performance of their resource-intensive applications or dense server environments at a top-in-class level. The 81605ZQ in particular offers great data protection with its integrated flash module, which eliminates the need for an add-on daughterboard and the 16 ports offer tremendous in-system flexiblity."

"Microsemi Adaptec's introduction of the 12Gb/s ASR-8885 heralds the beginning of the 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller era, which provides numerous advantages over the previous 6Gb/s architecture. Microsemi Adaptec is making significant inroads into the SAS space. With their RAID controllers, HBA's, expanders and a forthcoming SAS SSD controller, they provide an end-to-end SAS solution for their customers.
The needs of the datacenter are changing, and as Microsemi Adaptec continues to evolve, they have developed new RAID controllers and HBA's that provide density, flexibility, and performance in a small package."

"Their ASR-8885 is a great RAID adapter. It offers 16 ports of 12Gbps SAS with amazing throughput. We had no issues hitting 700K IOPS and 6GB/s.
Those are amazing maximums, but we were more impressed with the incredible consistency that we observed. With sub-microsecond variance, the Series 8 destroyed our latency tests."
