Product features
Integrated cache protection
The SmartRAID family continues Microchip's battery-free portfolio. The SmartRAID 3100 series integrates flash-based cache protection to enable instant cache protection. The tethered Microchip Adaptec ASCM-35F capacitor module is continuously monitored by the Smart firmware to make sure that the data can be safely backed up to the flash memory on the SmartRAID adapter in case of a power loss.Advanced data protection and ease of use
Microchip's Smart Storage stack delivers maximum reliability and high performance that all RAID levels come to expect, plus unique features like Mixed Mode support, adapter power management and advanced data management features that allow data migration from existing RAID arrays to new ones when upgrading old hard disks or worn-out SSDs.Key selling points
- Integrated cache protection
- Advanced data protection and ease of use
