Advantages of the Adaptec HBA1000 Series

Today's data centers and enterprises need solutions that can keep up with the rapid pace of data expansion. A flexible and smart solution is required to meet the ever-expanding data storage demands.

The HBA1000 series is the first in a new family of Adaptec smart storage solutions that combine PMC-Sierra's SAS/SATA controller expertise, Adaptec's 30+ years of proven foundational innovations, and smart IP technology acquired from HP. Ammunition product.
It provides the highest level of storage performance and scalability by connecting a large number of the latest 12Gb/s storage devices, reaching the PCIe Gen3 host bus limit of 6600MB and up to 1.3 million IOPS with minimal overhead and latency.

We will introduce three excellent features of the HBA1000 that demonstrate excellent performance.

Feature 1. All products are low profile MD2 shape

In order to connect inside the server, the smaller the board size, the less likely it will interfere with other modules, and the more space there is, the smarter the connection will be. Especially when connecting to a 1U or 2U server, a full-height shape may impose physical restrictions or accumulate heat.

HBA1000 is available in 5 products with different ports to meet your needs

  • HBA1000-16i (internal 16 ports)
  • HBA1000-16e (16 external ports)
  • HBA1000-8i8e (8 internal ports/8 external ports)
  • HBA1000-8i (8 internal ports)
  • HBA1000-8e (8 external ports)


All of these products come in a minimal low-profile MD2 form factor, allowing them to be easily installed in 2U servers for maximum native connectivity in a minimal footprint without obstructing airflow. In particular, 16 ports are the industry's smallest shape.

Feature 2. Low power consumption

Being power efficient contributes to the reduction of operating costs. Also, the low heat generation gives you more options in your application and host hardware configuration.

The HBA1000 is a highly efficient product in terms of power consumption, greatly reducing TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Model name Port configuration Power consumption (W)
1000-16i 16 internal ports 11.8
1000-16e 16 external ports 11.1
1000-8i8e 8 internal ports / 8 external ports 12.3
1000-8i 8 internal ports 9.4
1000-8e 8 external ports 8.7

Feature 3. Better performance than chipset

It is possible to connect a SATA SSD via the chipset installed on the motherboard.
For example, many servers used in general offices and data centers that provide cloud services often use SATA SSDs. We recommend connecting via HBA1000 for high-density servers that require faster processing.

HBA1000 has the following high performance advantages when connected to Intel Chipset SATA:
Given that low power consumption and high-speed processing are possible, the cost performance of connecting a SATA SSD is very good.
