ADAPTEC 3405 kit

Internal four-port SAS controller designed for the PCIe interface provides transfer speeds up to 3 GB per second on a port. The card can connect four devices and up to 128 devices using expander. The advantage is support for booting, low profile cards and the ability to combine SAS and Serial ATA drives which can be achieved outstanding price/performance ratio. Controller also supports RAID (0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, JBOD + RAID 50, 60 with expansion unit). With support for 48-bit LBA can use discs with a capacity exceeding 137 gigabytes With support for 48-bit LBA can use discs with a capacity exceeding 137 gigabytes Controller is supplied in the kit package.
SAS is an innovative generation of SCSI performance storage systems, increasing and improving their accessibility. Extends the function of parallel SCSI hard drives and one of the main advantages of this technology is the possibility of integrating a 3.5-inch SAS drives with Serial ATA units in one device.To connect the drive to use the same cables and connectors for drives with a Serial ATA interface. This opportunity offers exceptional flexibility and scalability. Full-duplex architecture ensures that storage facilities supplied data to the host system at the same time, when the host system sends commands to other storage devices. Dual-port architecture allows easy integration type of fail-over. Host and storage systems are connected dual channels and data are constantly available even if the failure of some components. Further advantages as data integrity, reliability and the ability to connect up to 16 256 discs in one domain. Drives with this interface will find application in such a vysokotransakčních database applications with high availability of data, but also for archiving or backing it up.
