The 12 Gbps Adaptec SmartRAID 3162-8i RAID adapter has 8 internal SAS/SATA ports in a x8 PCIe Gen 3 low-profile, MD2 form factor. Microchip's industry leading Smart Storage stack delivers maximum reliability and best-in-class performance that all RAID levels come to expect, plus unique features like Mixed Mode support (RAID and HBA devices can be used simultaneously), adapter power management (reduces power consumption up to 30 percent), and Advanced Data Management (ADM) features that allow data migration from existing RAID arrays.
SmartRAID 3162 RAID adapters include maxCache 4.0, and when coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, provide maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS as well as acceleration and latency optimization through caching. TheSmartRAID 3162 adapters also includes on-board integrated cache protection, integrating the Zero Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) power source to enable instant cache protection without the need to find additional space for the capacitor module.
With broad operating system support and ecosystem compatibility, SmartRAID adapters are easy to implement and scale and the unified maxView management tools and drivers across the Microchip HBA, RAID, and expander solutions enable easy manageability across the entire product line. SmartRAID 3162 adapters are the ideal solutions for high performance enterprise servers that require maximum connectivity and security.
YG GROUP (YUGUANG INTERNATIONAL(HK)CO.,LTD) supports reliable sourcing through quality controls and compliance documentation. Please confirm product requirements, applicable certifications and supporting documents before ordering.
Adaptec® SmartRAID 3162-8i is an authentic electronic component manufactured by Microchip, categorized under Unclassified. It is supplied in the standard manufacturer-specified package footprint, providing industry-standard mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations for board-level assembly. Full pinout configurations, physical footprint drawings, and rated operating tolerances are documented in the official Adaptec® SmartRAID 3162-8i datasheet above.
Electronic component spot-market pricing for Adaptec® SmartRAID 3162-8i fluctuates based on real-time global availability, production date codes, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and packaging formats (e.g., Reel, Tube, Tray). Using an RFQ ensures you receive accurate, real-time volume pricing tied to verified, traceable inventory rather than stale catalog estimates.
Lead times for Adaptec® SmartRAID 3162-8i depend on whether stock is dispatched from our central hub or regional franchise partners. Ready-to-ship inventory typically leaves the warehouse within 1–3 business days following quality inspection, while factory-direct or back-ordered allocations are confirmed with an estimated ship date upon RFQ reply.
