| The Series 3 family of Adaptec Unified Serial (SATA/SAS) RAID controllers hits the sweet spot of flexibility and performance by supporting either high-capacity SATA drives, high-performance SAS drives, or both on a single system.
The Adaptec RAID 3805 features 500 MHz of processing power, a 128MB or 256MB ECC-protected data cache, connectivity with x4 PCI-Express, and scalability up to 128 devices using SAS expanders.
The Adaptec RAID 3805 supports a wide range of operating systems, compatibility with more than 300 third-party devices, and full integration with Adaptec Storage Manager for centralized management of all Adaptec RAID controllers on the network.
