The Adaptec RAID 5445Z Unified Serial RAID controller offers a new level of flexibility and performance to servers and workstations by supporting either 3.0 Gb/s SAS hard drives for performance or lower cost SATA hard drives for capacity. Supporting RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50 and 60, it can not only backup data but can also extend the storage capacity of a system significantly.
It supports the industry’s fastest bus speeds at PCI-Express X8 and offers complete connectivity with 1 external and 1 internal mini-SAS connectors. Using SAS expanders, it can connect up to 256 SAS devices.
Using an industry-leading dual core RAID on Chip (ROC) processor and 512MB of DDR2 write cache, this high-performance PCIe-to-SAS RAID host adapter delivers enterprise-class performance for mission critical server applications.
