Microchip Technology HBA 1200-8i RAID controller PCI Express x8 4.0

HBA 1200-8i
24G SAS/SATA/NVMe PCIe Gen 4 Host Bus Adapter

The Adaptec® HBA 1200-8i host bus adapter offers maximum performance with SAS/SATA/NVMe tri-mode functionality, enabling high-performance connectivity solutions for server OEM, storage systems, data center, and enterprise customers.

Built on Microchip's proven 5th generation SmartIOC 2200 storage controller, the HBA 1200-8i supports a x8 PCIe Gen 4 host interface with 8 media facing port variants for internal Tri-mode connectivity. New technologies available with the HBA 1200 family includes DirectPath, which integrates a PCIe switch for the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth NVMe solution and Microchip's Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled through-put. Native HBA modes for all media types are also supported, which offers the lowest latency for memory-based PCIe storage.

HBA 1200 adapters include Microchip’s Trusted Platform support which delivers a new level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project, and support Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software.

The HBA 1200 supports both Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) for intelligent backplane management and SFF's Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators. Also supported are industry leading storage management including standards-based Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE) to simplify integration and and Microchip's ChipLink Diagnostic Tool with signal integrity analysis and context sensitive documentation to accelerate time to market.
