SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for

unparalleled throughput. Native host adapter modes,

RAID mode and mixed (RAID and HBA/raw devices) for

all media types are also supported.

Microchip’s Trusted Platform support delivers a new level

of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware

root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute

Security Project. Microchip has expanded on its unique
