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 a 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, 5-series and 2-series controllers support Adaptec
MaxIQ-branded Solid State Drives only. (3-series controllers do not support MaxIQ caching.)
Adaptec Q-series controllers support Adaptec MaxIQ-branded Solid State Drives plus select
SSDs from other manufacturers. For RAID arrays, you can use any Solid State Drive on the
compatibility list. See
www.adaptec.com/compatibility
for a list of MaxIQ-compatible SSDs.
