uh SSD cache so it's their Max IQ product basically it goes with uh any supported adaptech raid card so in this case I have a 5445 from adaptech how many times have I said adaptech already in this video I've set up the SSD as one of the four drives that's connected to this controller so you can see I've got three other drives those are all Hitachi 1 TB 7200 RPM drives they are configured in raid 5 and I just wanted to do a quick video showing how to set up the max IQ cache once you've got it connected to the controller so the first thing you might need to do is update the firmware on your card which I did have to do you installed the latest adaptech storage manager software and then all you have to do is go into direct attack storage KPC in this case uh controller one and then you can see here that on connector zero we have an SSD and three SATA hard driv so it already knows that there's an SSD connected we have one logical device so that is the Hitachi raid 5 you can tell from the little five indicated here and we can see some more information about this here in this screen so we've got status power segments device yeah everything that we need to know and then up here this little button right here says cache and it has a little picture of an SSD so we click on that it brings up a menu where all we have to do is go to device zero click SSD and then click apply oh hold on vetch rate well we'll leave that at default for now so we click apply and now it has configured this 32 gig adaptech SSD in this case it's an x25 E from Intel as a cache for my RAID 5 configuration now some adap tech cards actually support using thirdparty ssds uh such as some of ocz's Enterprise level drives uh but this particular card only supports the max IQ kit so that was it now we're going to later on today hopefully maybe tomorrow do some benchmarks comparing before and after adding an SSD cache and don't forget to check out the video that I've done on the topic of using SSD caches because it's very very interesting I actually compared quite a few different solutions in the market but this was not one of them so I'm really looking forward to seeing the performance numbers that we can generate by adding even it's a a small 32 gig cache to this particular array"}
