Supported storage drive interfaces: SAS Host interface: PCI Express x8 RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 12 Gbit/s SSD support 1370000 h The 12 Gbps SmartRAID 3100 adapters, coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS as well as acceleration and latency optimization through caching for the most performance-hungry transactional and database applications.SmartRAID 3100 adapters are full featured RAID adapters with integrated cache backup, up to 1.7 million IOPS, available in up to 24 native ports in LP/MD2, and have SSD caching on most adapter SKUs.Advancing the performance capabilities of SSD caching to a broader set of application workloads, SmartRAID 315x adapters support read and write-back caching. By caching writes to a redundant SSD cache pool, maxCache 4.0 leverages the performance and latency capabilities of SSD technology for both read and write workloads. The read caching function is also improved with maxCache 4.0, with additional optimizations
