Product features
Ultra performance
The SmartRAID 3200 series delivers a comprehensive feature set for excellent performance.maxCrypto controller-based encryption
The SmartRAID encryption enabled adapters provide data-at-rest CBE solution enabled for NVMe in addition to SAS and SATA devices. maxCrypto technology encrypts data on RAID arrays and single-drive RAID 0 with AES 256 encryption. It is accelerated by silicon engines with all NVMe, SAS and SATA devices that are supported in RAID (SSDs and HDDs). It supports local encryption key management and is FIPS 140-2/Level 1 certification ready, providing a superior solution over self-encrypting drives.Advanced data protection and ease of use
Microchip's smart storage stack delivers maximum reliability and excellent performance at all RAID levels, plus unique features like mixed mode support (RAID and HBA devices can be used simultaneously), adapter power management (reduces power consumption up to 30%) and Triple Mirroring features that allow data migration from existing RAID arrays to new ones.Key selling points
- Ideal for enabling PCIe Gen 4 storage capabilities for SMB, enterprise, and hyperscale applications, with proven reliability
- Tri-mode support for SAS/SATA/NVMe devices
- Built-in PCIe switch to enable low latency access to NVMe storage devices for HBA and RAID modes
- Superior performance and bandwidth
