## Long description

The Adaptec SmartRAID 3154-8i is a 12 Gbps RAID controller designed for high-performance server storage. With a PCI Express x8 host interface, support for multiple RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60), and up to 24 native ports available across the SmartRAID 3100 family, the controller delivers high read/write bandwidth and IOPS for demanding transactional and database workloads. It includes integrated flash-based cache protection and supports SSD caching and mixed-mode operation to combine RAID and HBA devices on the same adapter.
Advantages
The SmartRAID 3154-8i provides up to 12 Gbit/s per port performance and SSD caching for both read and write acceleration, with adapter SKUs capable of achieving up to 1.7 million IOPS across the product family. It features battery-free integrated cache protection using a tethered capacitor module (Adaptec ASCM-35F) for safe backup of cache to onboard flash, continuous firmware monitoring, and advanced power management that can reduce adapter power consumption by up to 30 percent. Management is provided through the Adaptec maxView HTML5 web interface supporting local and remote administration.
Suitable for
High-performance transactional databases
Enterprise virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
IOPS-sensitive applications and mixed HDD/SSD storage arrays
Data centers requiring remote storage management and migration features

How to use
Install the SmartRAID 3154-8i into an available PCI Express x8 slot in the server following the server and adapter installation instructions. Connect SAS/SATA drives to the controller ports, configure RAID arrays through the Adaptec maxView web interface or the adapter firmware utility, and enable SSD caching if the system includes supported SSDs.
