Adaptec Serial Attached SCSI 48300
High-performance storage connectivity and data protection for servers and workstations
Overview
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the enterprise storage interface that takes SCSI into new dimensions of performance, flexibility and scalability. With SAS you can enjoy performance many times faster than traditional SCSI and mix and match SAS and Serial ATA (SATA) drives for cost and performance optimization.
The Adaptec Serial Attached SCSI 48300 card is an eight-port controller featuring Adaptec HostRAID™- an integrated RAID technology that maximizes system performance and uptime. The Adaptec 48300 supports up to eight direct attached drives and up to 128 drives using expander technology. The card offers RAID levels 0, 1, and 10 as well as 48-bit LBA support for the use of disk drives exceeding 137GB in capacity. The Adaptec 48300 supports Windows® 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Linux.
