Adaptec 3085 PCIe SAS RAID Controller

Choose an Adaptec Unified Serial™ controller to leverage cost-effective, high-capacity Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives or high-performance Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives, or both, in a single storage system. With Adaptec Unified Serial controllers, you can scale up to 60TB (using 500GB drives) and increase performance for SATA and SAS storage.

This card offers the industry's first redundant path failover to minimize downtime with externally attached drives. With an x8 lane, 800 MHz processing power and 256MB of memory, your large capacity solutions will maximize performance and scalability.

The Adaptec RAID 3085 is an 8-port controller that supports externally attached SATA and SAS drives and supports the next-generation PCIe connectivity. It features Adaptec RAID Code (ARC) with RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD, as well as Copyback Hot Spare and optional Snapshot Backup. With an MD2 low-profile form factor, this card will fit into any server, including high-density rack mount and blade servers.
