## Long description

The Adaptec SmartRAID 3151-4i is a PCI Express x8 RAID controller designed for 12 Gbps SAS storage environments. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, offers up to 12 Gbit/s per port, and includes 1024 MB of internal cache memory for efficient data handling. The controller is a half-height card (167 mm × 64 mm) suited for a variety of server configurations and includes integrated flash-based cache protection with support for a tethered capacitor module for safe backup of cache to flash during power loss.
Advantages
The SmartRAID 3151-4i delivers high bandwidth and IOPS when paired with 12 Gbps SSDs, and supports SSD read and write-back caching to accelerate transactional and database workloads. It provides up to 1.7 million IOPS on the SmartRAID family, native multi-port configurations, and integrated cache protection without batteries. Additional features include Mixed Mode operation (RAID and HBA concurrently), adapter power management to reduce power consumption, and management via the HTML5-based Adaptec maxView interface for local and remote administration.
Suitable for
 High-performance transactional databases and OLTP systems
 Virtualization hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
 Enterprise file and block storage with mixed RAID configurations
 Systems requiring reliable cache protection and remote management
