VANTAGE POINT Powered by AI
High-performance 12Gbps SAS/SATA RAID controller with 8 internal and 16 external ports for enterprise storage systems.

SENTIMENT SCORE

  7.8 / 10

    Technical buyers appreciate its robust 12Gbps performance and cache protection features, though some note PCIe 3.0 limitations in Gen4-era systems.

REASONS TO BUY

  • High bandwidth - 12Gbps per port maximizes throughput for SSDs and HDDs
  • Enterprise reliability - 4GB cache with supercapacitor backup ensures data integrity
  • Scalable connectivity - Supports 24 direct-attached or 246+ drives via expanders

CONSIDERATIONS

  • Limited PCIe generation - PCIe 3.0 x8 may bottleneck modern storage arrays
  • Complexity - Requires advanced RAID management expertise
  • Form factor - Low-profile MD2 design limits compatibility with full-height systems

BOTTOM LINE

    It remains a reliable choice for traditional storage arrays.

Overview

    The 12 Gbps Adaptec SmartRAID 3154-8i16e RAID adapter has 8 internal and 16 external SAS/SATA ports in a x8 PCIe Gen 3 low-profile, MD2 form factor. Microchip's industry leading Smart Storage stack delivers maximum reliability and best-in-class performance that all RAID levels come to expect, plus unique features like Mixed Mode support (RAID and HBA devices can be used simultaneously), adapter power management (reduces power consumption up to 30 percent), and Advanced Data Management (ADM) features that allow data migration from existing RAID arrays.

    SmartRAID 3154-8i16e adapters include maxCache 4.0, and when coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS as well as acceleration and latency optimization through caching. The SmartRAID 3154-8i16e adapters also integrate flash-based cache backup to enable instant cache protection. The tethered ASCM-35F capacitor module ensures data is safely backed up to Flash memory in case of power loss.

    With broad operating system support and ecosystem compatibility, SmartRAID adapters are easy to implement and scale, and the unified maxView management tools and drivers across the Microchip HBA, RAID, and expander solutions enable easy manageability across the entire product line.

    SmartRAID 3154 RAID adapters are ideal solutions for high performance enterprise servers that require maximum connectivity and security.
