Microsemi Introduces New SAS/SATA HBAs And RAID Cards
 

Today Microsemi is announcing the availability of a new generation of SAS/SATA adapters and RAID cards under their Adaptec brand. The new cards are based on the 28nm SmartIOC and SmartROC controller chips that Microsemi announced in May of this year. Those controller ICs are available for third parties to build products around, but Microsemi is now also selling their own branded solutions. The new adapters and RAID cards all use a PCIe 3 x8 host interface and support between 4 and 24 SAS/SATA ports.
