Product information

Description

The Microchip Technology SmartRAID 3204-8i is a high-performance RAID controller designed for server OEMs, storage systems, data centers and enterprise deployments. Built on Microchip's 5th generation SmartROC 3200 storage controller, the SmartRAID 3204-8i provides a x8 PCIe Gen4 host interface and eight media-facing ports for internal tri-mode (SAS/SATA/NVMe) connectivity. It supports native HBA modes, multiple RAID levels and integrates technologies such as DirectPath and Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) to optimize NVMe latency and aggregate expander-attached drives over 24G SAS infrastructure.

Advantages

The SmartRAID 3204-8i offers tri-mode support for SAS, SATA and NVMe devices on a single adapter and leverages a PCIe Gen4 x8 interface for high bandwidth. DirectPath reduces NVMe latency and increases throughput by integrating a PCIe switch, while DCM improves link efficiency for expander-connected SAS/SATA drives. The adapter includes Microchip’s Trusted Platform support for a hardware root of trust and SED management compatibility, and it supports standards such as PLDM/Redfish Device Enablement, Intel Virtual Pin Port (VPP) and SFF Universal Backplane Management to simplify integration.

Suitable for

Enterprise servers and data center storage systems
OEM server and appliance manufacturers
High-performance storage arrays requiring mixed media (SAS/SATA/NVMe)
Systems needing low-latency HBA modes for memory-based PCIe storage

Key specifications

Manufacturer: Microchip Technology (Adaptec SmartRAID)
Model: SmartRAID 3204-8i (MPN: 32048IXS)
Host interface: PCIe Gen4 x8
Media ports: 8 internal media-facing ports (tri-mode capable)
Supported media: SAS, SATA, NVMe
Data transfer rate: up to 24 Gbit/s (SAS-4)
Internal memory: 4096 MB
Supported RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60; native HBA modes supported
Security: Trusted Platform (hardware root of trust), SED management support

How to use

Install the SmartRAID 3204-8i into an available PCIe Gen4 x8 slot in a compatible server chassis. Connect internal drive backplane or direct drives to the adapter's media-facing ports using appropriate cables or backplane connections supporting tri-mode (SAS/SATA/NVMe). Configure RAID arrays or enable HBA mode through the controller firmware interface or vendor management utilities. Integrate with system management using PLDM/Redfish RDE and, if required, enable SED management for self-encrypting drives.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use PCIe Gen4 host slots and backplanes rated for 24G SAS. Choose DirectPath when low-latency NVMe access is required and enable DCM when aggregating expander-attached SAS/SATA drives. Follow vendor firmware and driver updates and use supported management tools (PLDM/Redfish, ChipLink Diagnostic Tool) for diagnostics and integration.
