Connecting MaxIQ Solid State Drives and other SSDs
To connect an Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Drive or other SSD to your controller, use a direct-
attached connection or backplane connection. If your server does not have a standard 2.5-inch
drive tray, you must use a bracket/SLED which enables the SSD to fit properly (not included
with MaxIQ SSD kit).
Note:
For MaxIQ caching applications, Adaptec RAID controllers support Adaptec MaxIQ-
branded/Intel X25-E Solid State Drives only. For RAID arrays, you can use any Solid State Drive
on the compatibility list, including Adaptec MaxIQ SSDs. (See
www.adaptec.com/compatibility
for a list of compatible Solid State Drives.)
