Microsemi / Microchip Adaptec® HBA 1100 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapters

Microsemi / Microchip Adaptec^® HBA 1100 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapters are designed to provide the highest levels of storage performance and scalability for next-generation data centers. Based on the PM8222 8x12G SmartIOC 2100 SAS/SATA Protocol Controller, the HBA 1100 Series provides a robust and stable solution that can handle the toughest system workloads and configurations.

The HBA 1100 Series supports SMR HDDs and their specific command sets (ZAC/ZBC for SAS/SATA SMR drives), enabling cost-efficient solutions for warm and cold storage applications. These Host Bus Adapters also support the latest SAS and SATA SSDs. The HBA 1100 is also optimized for software-defined storage solutions, such as Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, VMWare vSAN, and OpenStack Swift/Ceph.

Microsemi / Microchip HBA 1100 Series provides high-level storage performance and scalability for next-generation data centers. Using SmartPQI Host OS Device Drivers that are optimized for low latency solid-state drives, HBA 1100 Adapters can aggregate the performance of devices to the limits of the PCIe Gen3 host bus at 6.6Gbps, and achieve up to 1.7M IOPS and 60 percent higher IOPS performance with SATA devices without additional overhead or latency.

Available in five different configurations with up to 24 internal SAS/SATA ports, the Adaptec HBA 1100 Series offers a large number of density options in a low-profile, MD2 form factor.
