The Adaptec MaxIQ 5805Q Storage Controller with SSD caching offers both high I/O transaction and high bandwidth processing when configured with cost-effective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-performance SAS drives. Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec 5805Q delivers up to 8X faster performance and up to 70% savings in capital and operating costs compared to HDD-only arrays.

Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching – 8X IOPS
Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching software features a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that identifies frequently-read (“hot”) data and copies it directly into an SSD cache for superior read performance. Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching lowers overall system latencies, greatly improving the system CPU-to-storage performance gap, and allows I/O intensive data centers and cloud computing environments to convert industry-standard servers into cost-effective, high-performance, scale-out application storage appliances.

Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching does not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems and is ideal for I/O intensive data centers and cloud computing environments.

Reduce Capital and Operating Costs by up to 70%
Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching reduces capital expenses by increasing IOPS with less hardware (fewer servers) - thereby significantly cutting energy and maintenance costs.

Broad Compatibility and Easy Management
The Adaptec 5805Q features 1.2 GHz of processing power, 512MB of DDR2 write cache, MaxIQ Hybrid SSD read caching with support for multiple MLC and SLC SSD devices, and direct I/O connectivity for SATA/SAS SSDs, hard drives, and tape devices. Using SAS expanders, it supports up to 256 devices. It supports a broad range of operating systems, is compatible with more than 300 third-party devices, and comes with Adaptec Storage Manager™ for centralized management of all Adaptec RAID controllers on the network.
