Areca ARC-1686-8X (8 Ports PCIe Gen 4.0 Cost-Effective RAID Adapter)
The new generation ARC-1686-8I/8X family offers advanced technology for increased performance and improved enterprise data protection. They were designed with 1.6 GHz dual core ROC processor and PCIe 4.0 interface for the most performance-hungry database and IT applications. Based on the ARM A15 PCIe 4.0 x8 to SAS/SATA/PCIe RAID on Chip (ROC) controller, the ARC-1686-8I/8X cost-effective tri-mode RAID adapters can offer both PCIe Gen 4.0 host and 12Gb/s SAS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) tri-mode storage interfaces.
Features:
- Tri-mode interface at each drive port - 12Gb/s SAS/SATA/ Gen 4.0 PCIe (NVMe)
- x8 PCIe Gen 4.0 host interface
- Hardware secure boot ready
- SFF-9402 compliant connector pin-out
- RAID levels 0, 1 (Simple/Multi Mirroring), 10, Single Disk (Single/Dual/Triple) or JBOD
