Internal Host interface: PCIe Output interface: Mini-SAS HD Gold, Green, Silver The SmartHBA 2100 is an ideal solution for server-based storage systems that require maximum bandwidth and I/O connectivity, low power consumption, high reliability, plus options for data availability. The Smart Storage Platform even allows a combination of RAID and raw devices. This is useful in SDS environments where hardware RAID significantly increases OS boot reliability, but full HBA features and performance are otherwise needed. The SmartHBA 2100 also provides enhanced enclosure management capabilities to both RAID and raw devices, and enables enclosure services by providing a virtual SEP to software stacks if needed.The SmartHBA 2100 offers over 40 percent power savings compared to prior generations and significant power advantages versus competing solutions, giving it the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for an HBA/basic RAID solution. It delivers a robust and scalable solution that can handle
