As more high-density servers come online, businesses are increasingly requiring advanced RAID functionality in a small form factor. This is exactly the need addressed by the new Adaptec 2230SLP card. This controller provides a number of advanced features for entry-level and mid-range servers, such as full capacity utilization of mixed size drives.

Ultra320 SCSI: Faster and smarter
The Adaptec 2230SLP RAID controller features Ultra320 SCSI and data transfer rates up to 320 MByte/sec on each channel. This performance increase is especially significant in storage systems performing large data transfers or connecting many drives on a single channel. Adaptec developed a new technology called Seamless Streaming™ to optimize Ultra320 performance, maximizing bus utilization and minimizing command overhead as multiple commands are transferred in a single connection and at higher speeds.
