Adaptec MaxIQ 2405Q

The Adaptec MaxIQ 2405Q Storage Controller with SSD caching is built on the same Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) architecture as our industry-leading Series 5 and Series 5Z Performance RAID controllers. Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec 2405Q 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 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 in an entry level solution. 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 web, file, and database servers.
