MICROSEMI Adaptec SmartHBA 2100-16i - 16 internal ports LP/MD2 form factor

The SmartHBA 2100 Series, available in five different 12 Gbps configurations with up to 24 ports, uniquely combines the capabilities of a full-featured HBA, like the HBA 1100, with those of a basic RAID adapter using hardware RAID. The SmartHBA 2100 is an ideal solution for server-based storage systems that require maximum bandwidth and I/O connectivity, low power consumption, high reliability, plus options for data availability. The Smart Software stack even allows a combination of RAID and raw devices. This is useful in SDS environments where hardware RAID significantly increases OS boot reliability, but full HBA features and performance are otherwise needed.
