Product Description
-------------------
The generation of Adaptec Unified Serial controllers
meets your need for maximum performance, scalability, and
flexibility for enterprise-class applications, including network
attached storage (NAS), online transaction processing (OTLP),
web, digital surveillance, and streaming applications. The
Adaptec RAID 5805 is equipped with industry-leading dual core
RAID on Chip (ROC), the latest x8 PCI-Express connectivity, and
512 MB of DDR2 cache to deliver over 250,000 IO per second and
1.2 GB/s. Eight internal ports in this Unified Serial controller
allow you to connect up to 256 SATA/SAS disk drives through SAS
expanders. The Adaptec RAID 5805 features Adaptec RAID Code (ARC)
with RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD, as well
as copy back hot spare. Adaptec Storage Manager provides one-view
centralized management of all your Adaptec RAID controllers. The
Adaptec RAID 5085 also integrates the latest PCIe connectivity,
the broadest operating system support, including open source
Linux drivers, a battery backup option, and proven compatibility.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
With an industry-leading dual core RAID on Chip (ROC), DDR2
533MHz write cache, support for up to 256 SATA/SAS devices (using
SAS expanders), and an x8 PCI Express host interface bus
connection, the Series 5 controllers delivers impressive
performance numbers -- over 250,000 I/Os and 1.2GB/s. These
controllers are ideal for enterprise-class storage applications
that call for maximum performance, scalability and flexibility.
The Adaptec RAID 5805 utilizes 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 1.2GB. Using
SAS expanders, it can connect up to 256 SATA/SAS devices.
The Adaptec RAID 5805 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 controllers on the network.
Highest Performance
-------------------
Series 5 controllers deliver speeds up to five times faster than
competing products -- over 250,000 IOPs and 1.2GB/s -- making
them ideal for enterprise-class storage systems.
Broad range support of operating systems, also compatible with
more than 300 third-party devices
Advanced Data Protection
------------------------
Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) delivers maximum reliability with RAID
levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD. ARC also offers
RAID Level Migration (the ability to easily migrate RAID levels),
Online Capacity Expansion (expand capacity without powering down
the server), and Copyback Hot Spare (when a failed drive has been
replaced, data is automatically copied from the hot spare back to
the restored drive).
Hybrid RAID
-----------
With Hybrid RAID 1 & 10 the Series 5 controllers offer maximum
performance and reliability by combining Solid State Drives
(SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in a single array. By
performing read operations from the faster SSD and write
operations on both the SSDs and HDDs the result is tremendous
performance gains over standard HDD RAID arrays. Hybrid RAID
offers the benefits of both technologies and allows a better cost
per GB ratio than comparable SSD-only RAID arrays.
The Case for Cache
------------------
The fastest way for a RAID controller to fulfill a read or write
request is to serve data out of its cache. Enabling the RAID
controller cache offers significant performance benefits, such as
reduced latency in I/O requests, bandwidth and queue depths that
surpass software application limits, and on-the-fly parity
calculations on sequential writes.
Intelligent Power Management
----------------------------
The power required by disks is a primary ongoing storage cost.
Full power is maintained to every disk whether it is actively
being used or not, which also increases cooling costs. Adaptec
Intelligent Power Management slashes power and cooling costs by
spinning down idle disks and providing a lower power mode for
active disks.
One-view Storage Management
---------------------------
Adaptec Storage Manager, a one-view tool centralizes management
of all Adaptec RAID products.
Broad Operating System Support
------------------------------
Extensive operating system support includes all major software
releases, such as Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and UNIX variants.
