Hybrid RAID Solutions for Maximum Performance and Reliability

Hybrid RAID arrays of Solid State Drive (SSD) and Hard Disk Drive (HDD) offer tremendous performance gains over standard HDD RAID arrays by performing read operations from the faster SSD and write operations on both the SSD and HDD. The result is a higher number of read operations per second with no degradation of write I/O performance, and complete transparency to the operating system and all running applications.

Now you can reap the performance rewards of Hybrid RAID technology simply by installing updated firmware onto any Adaptec Series 6, Series 5Z, Series 5, Series 2 or Series Q controller. The controller takes care of the rest by automatically creating a Hybrid RAID array whenever you use one or more SSDs and combine them with the same number of HDDs to create a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array.

Our Solution:		Other Solutions:
Adaptec Hybrid RAID Solution Adaptec controllers write to both HDD and SSD and read from SSD 100% of the time resulting in maximum performance.		Competitive RAID Solution: Other controllers write and read from HDD and SSD resulting in lower I/O performance since server I/O of 1 SSD can be up to 100 times faster than HDD.
