## Summary description

The Adaptec SmartRAID 3152-8i is a PCI Express x8 RAID controller that supports SAS storage drive interfaces. It offers RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, with a data transfer rate of 12 Gbit/s. Equipped with 2048 MB of internal memory, this half-height card measures 167 mm in width and 64 mm in height, making it ideal for various server configurations.

## Long description

The Adaptec SmartRAID 3152-8i is a PCI Express x8 RAID controller designed for 12 Gbps SAS storage environments. This half-height card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, offers up to 24 native ports on some SKUs, and includes 2048 MB of internal cache to accelerate transactional and database workloads with high IOPS and bandwidth.
Advantages
SmartRAID 3152-8i delivers high read/write performance and IOPS through SSD caching and an integrated flash-based cache protection system that replaces battery backup. The adapter supports both read and write-back caching to accelerate mixed workloads, offers up to 1.7 million IOPS on capable configurations, and includes firmware-managed capacitor backup (Adaptec ASCM-35F) for safe cache persistence in power loss events. The controller also provides mixed-mode operation (RAID and HBA simultaneously), adapter power management to reduce power consumption, and a web-based management interface for local and remote administration.
Suitable for
High-performance transactional databases and OLTP applications
Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
Enterprise file and block storage with mixed read/write workloads
Server upgrades where data migration from existing RAID arrays is required
Key specifications
Model: Adaptec SmartRAID 3152-8i (MPN 2290200-R, EAN 0760884157664)
Host interface: PCI Express x8
SAS speed: 12 Gbit/s per port
Supported RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
Internal cache: 2048 MB
Card size: half-height, 167 mm × 64 mm
How to use
Install the SmartRAID 3152-8i into an available PCIe x8 slot following your server vendor's hardware installation procedures. Connect SAS drives to the controller ports and power up the system. Use the adapter firmware or Adaptec maxView HTML5 web interface to configure RAID arrays, enable SSD caching where supported, and set caching policies (read or write-back) according to workload needs. Monitor capacitor health and cache backup status through the management tools to ensure data protection against power loss.
Usage recommendations
For best results in mixed read/write environments, enable SSD read and write-back caching and verify that the ASCM-35F capacitor module is present and monitored by firmware. Use adapter power management to reduce energy consumption when full performance is not required, and perform data migration using the provided advanced data management features when replacing drives or upgrading arrays.
