| 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.
