Microchip Adaptec® SmartRAID Ultra 3258p-32i /e

SKU: 3258UPC32IX2S
The Adaptec® SmartRAID Ultra 3258p-32i /e RAID adapter offers maximum performance with SAS/SATA/NVMe Tri-mode functionality with a x16 host interface that doubles bandwidth to 29.6 GB/s, enabling 4x higher-performance connectivity solutions for server OEM, storage systems, data center, and enterprise customers than previous generations.

Built on Microchip's proven 5th generation SmartROC 3200 storage controller, the SmartRAID Ultra 3258p-32i /e, the industry's highest port RAID adapter, supports a x16 PCIe Gen 4 host interface with the industry's highest 32 media facing port variants for internal Tri-mode connectivity. New technologies available with the SmartRAID 3200 family includes DirectPath, which integrates a PCIe switch for the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth NVMe solution and Microchip's Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled through-put. Native HBA modes for all media types are also supported, which offers the lowest latency for memory-based PCIe storage.

SmartRAID 3200 adapters include Microchip's Trusted Platform support which delivers a new level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project. For additional layers of security, Microchip has now expanded on its unique Adaptec maxCrypto Controller-Based Encryption (CBE) solution to support SAS, SATA, and now NVMe media, and also supports Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software.

The SmartRAID 3200 family also supports both Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) for intelligent backplane management and SFF's Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators. Also supported are industry leading storage management including standards-based Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE) to simplify integration and and Microchip's ChipLink Diagnostic Tool with signal integrity analysis and context sensitive documentation to accelerate time to market.

  • Industry's first 24G SAS adapter support for industry standard SAS-4 connectivity
  • 16 Gbps NVMe Gen 4, 24 Gbps SAS-4, and 6 Gbps SATA full Tri-mode SAS/SATA/NVMe adapters
  • Industry's only 32-port RAID adapter for maximum design flexibility
  • 16-lane (x16) PCIe Gen 4 host interface
  • Dynamic power management to save up to 30% power
  • Superior performance with up to 29.6 GB/s throughput and 3.5M+ IOPs 4K random reads
  • Accelerate storage with up to 8 GB of high-speed DRAM cache with integrated cache protection
  • 144-bit DDR4 3200 MHz memory option with enhanced throughput on redundant RAID writes and NVMe CBE (11.7 GByte/s for RAID5 writes and 17 GB/s for NVMe CBE)
  • Integrated PCIe Switch enables DirectPath technology for the industry's lowest latency and high bandwidth NVMe solution
  • Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled throughput
