Adaptec RAID ASR-5805 SAS RAID Controller Review
 

In a steady and commonsensical way Adaptec has come to manufacture RAID controllers for hard disk drives with SAS interface. Having released a few trial models, the company has begun to make controllers based on a unified serial architecture. These are inexpensive entry-level 4-port controllers of the first and second series (the series number is the first numeral in the model name) and mainstream third series controllers. Of course, the high-performance fifth series, which is the current peak in the evolution of Adaptec’s controllers, is a logical continuation of the previous products.
