Product information

Description

The Microchip Technology SmartRAID 3258-16i/e is a high-performance RAID controller designed for demanding server and enterprise storage environments. Built on the 5th generation SmartROC 3200 controller, this adapter utilizes a PCIe Gen 4 x8 host interface to deliver exceptional throughput and low latency. It supports Tri-Mode connectivity, allowing for the integration of SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, making it a versatile solution for modern data centers and storage systems.

Advantages

This RAID controller offers significant performance improvements through advanced technologies such as DirectPath, which integrates a PCIe switch to minimize latency for NVMe storage. The inclusion of Dynamic Channel Multiplexing technology ensures high link efficiency when using SAS or SATA drives on 24G SAS infrastructure. Furthermore, the device prioritizes security with a hardware root of trust aligned with the Open Compute Security Project and supports controller-based encryption for SAS, SATA, and NVMe media, ensuring comprehensive data protection.

Suitable for

  • Enterprise-grade server storage systems
  • Data center infrastructure management
  • High-performance NVMe storage arrays
  • Complex RAID configurations requiring high reliability

When it may not be suitable

This controller is designed for professional server environments and may not be suitable for standard desktop PCs or home workstations due to its specialized interface requirements and cooling needs. It is also not intended for systems lacking PCIe Gen 4 compatibility, as this would limit the performance capabilities of the adapter.

Key specifications

  • Host Interface: PCIe Gen 4 x8
  • Supported Media: SAS, SATA, and NVMe
  • Internal Memory: 8192 MB
  • RAID Levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • Data Transfer Rate: 24 Gbit/s
  • Dimensions: 167 mm x 64 mm

How to use

Installation requires a compatible PCIe slot within a server chassis. Once physically installed, the controller should be connected to the backplane using appropriate cables. Configuration is managed through the system BIOS or the provided storage management software, which supports industry-standard protocols like Redfish for simplified integration. Ensure that the latest drivers are installed on the host operating system to enable full functionality of the Tri-Mode features.

What to consider before purchase

  • Verify PCIe slot compatibility and physical space within the server chassis
  • Ensure the power supply unit can handle the additional load of the storage array
  • Confirm that the backplane supports the intended drive types (SAS, SATA, or NVMe)
  • Check for compatibility with your specific server operating system

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and data integrity, it is recommended to utilize the controller-based encryption features and keep the firmware updated via the manufacturer's diagnostic tools. Ensure adequate airflow within the server enclosure to maintain stable operating temperatures during high-throughput tasks.
