ADAPTEC HBA 1200-8E

Maximum Performance and Security With Tri-Mode Functionality

The Adaptec® HBA 1200 family is the industry's most versatile, fully featured and secure Tri-mode SAS/SATA/ NVMe host bus adapter enabling high-performance connectivity solutions for server OEM, storage systems, data center and enterprise customers.

The HBA 1200 series of PCIe Gen 4 to Tri-mode host bus adapters come in a wide range of performance optimized configurations optimized for the lowest possible cost.

Built on Microchip's proven 5th generation storage controller, the SmartIOC 2200, the HBA 1200 product supports both x8 and x16 PCIe Gen 4 host interface adapters with 32, 16, and 8 media facing port variants for both internal and external Tri-mode connectivity. The HBA 1200 Ultra products are specifically designed for the most demanding NVMe and multi-port SAS SSD applications. The SmartIOC 2200 integrated PCIe Switch enables DirectPath technology - the industry's lowest latency and high bandwidth NVMe solution and the flexibility to support x1, x2, x4 and x8 wide NVMe SSDs.

This industry first 24G SAS adapter supports SAS-4 connectivity as well as Microchip's Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled throughput. Native HBA modes for all media types are also supported, which offers the lowest latency for memory-based PCIe storage. Superior performance enables the HBA 1200 Ultra to reach up to 29.6 GB/s throughput and 3.5M+ IOPs 4K random reads.

Microchip's Trusted Platform support delivers a new level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project.

Seamless Media Support with Tri-Mode Connectivity

The HBA 1200 supports both Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) for intelligent backplane management and SFF's Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators. UBM support enables auto-detection of the media type and interface bifurcation. SGPIO and SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) allow a common way to manage device status and activity for directly connected storage devices or for devices connected behind a SAS expander.

The Smart Storage platform supports industry leading storage management including standards-based Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE) to simplify integration and Microchip's ChipLink Diagnostic Tool with signal integrity analysis and context sensitive documentation to accelerate time to market.

The Adaptec HBA 1200 adapters support a wide range of software solutions including Microsoft® Storage Spaces Direct, VMWare vSAN and OpenStack Swift/Ceph.
