Adaptec Broadens Its MaxIQ SSD Caching Portfolio

Three new storage controllers, a performance kit, and wider support and management tools make up the expansion.

According to Adaptec, its MaxIQ SSD Caching products can deliver “up to eight times the I/O performance of hard disk drive-only arrays.” Indeed, the products enable IT managers to build high-performance hybrid arrays (HPHAs), which are data storage arrays consisting of both hard disk drives and solid state drives.

Adaptec vice president of sales and marketing Jared Peters says the product line provides “more flexibility and create greater operational efficiencies.”

The Adaptec MaxIQ Storage Controller family is built on Adaptec’s advanced data protection and high-performance architecture. It includes Adaptec Intelligent Power Management and supports all mainstream SSDs, including drives from OCZ Technology and STEC.

The Adaptec Q-Series Storage Controller Family includes:

  • Adaptec MaxIQ 2405Q (4 internal ports)
  • Adaptec MaxIQ 5805Q (8 internal ports)
  • Adaptec MaxIQ 5805ZQ (8 internal ports with “Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection” for battery-free data protection)

All MaxIQ Storage Controllers feature 1.2 GHz of processing power, 512 MB of DDR2 write cache, MaxIQ Hybrid SSD read caching (with support for multiple MLC and SLC SSD devices), and direct I/O connectivity for SATA/SAS SSDs, hard drives, and tape devices.

Using SAS expanders, the controllers support up to 256 devices; they also support a broad range of operating systems and are compatible with more than 300 third-party devices. The controllers are also supported by Adaptec Storage Manager for centralized management of all Adaptec RAID controllers on the network.

As a complement to the new MaxIQ Storage Controllers and the existing MaxIQ 32 GB Cache Performance Kit, the new MaxIQ 64GB Cache Performance Kit can be paired with any Adaptec Series 5Z, Series 5, or Series 2 Storage Controller. Also, each includes a 64 GB Intel X-25E Extreme Solid-State drive.

The Adaptec MaxIQ 64GB SSD Cache Performance Kit featuring one 64 GB Intel X25-E Extreme SATA SSD and MaxIQ SSD Caching Software sells as an MSRP† of $1,795.

The Adaptec RAID 2405Q, 5805Q, 5805ZQ list at $645, $1,215, and $1,485, respectively.

All products are currently available through worldwide distributors and resellers.
