Windows device driver information for Adaptec SAS RAID 4800SAS Controller

Adaptec SAS RAID 4800SAS Controller may be described as an interface for enterprise storage. The biggest advantage it has over other controllers is the fact that helps to improve the performance, scalability and also the flexibility of SCSI. The controller features the Adaptec RAID Code (ARC), the Adaptec Advanced Data Protection Suite, the Copy back Hot Spare and optional Snapshot Backup. It can support 8 SAS or SATA drives. The benefit of the connector to a user is that it provides not only high performance storage connectivity but also data protection to workstations and servers. These are applications that require high levels of sustained read and write operations. The controller comes with two x4 internal SAS connectors but only one external connector. This means flexibility when it comes to configuration. Accordingly, depending on their applications, users may then opt either for external or internal scalability.
