ASR-2120S-BULK
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 2120S & 2200S cards. These
controllers provide a number of advanced
features for entry-level and mid-range
servers, such as optimum capacity use of
mixed size drives.

Ultra320 SCSI: Faster and smarter
The Adaptec 2120S & 2200S RAID controllers
feature 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.

Exclusive mixed-capacity drive use
Adaptec’s exclusive optimized disk utilization
allows the full available capacity to be used
of all drives attached to the controller, even
if the drive sizes are different. Both cards
also make it possible to create multiple arrays
from a single set of drives. Online Capacity
Expansion and RAID Level Migration allow
users to adjust ever-changing storage needs
on the fly. This powerful combination of
features maximizes system resources and
reduces downtime.

Browser-based storage management
Adaptec Storage Manager–Browser Edition
allows system administrators to remotely
manage, monitor, and configure RAID
subsystems through password-protected web
access – thereby providing a more flexible
support infrastructure for IT professionals.

Choosing between the
Adaptec 2120S & 2200S
Both the Adaptec 2120S & 2200S support
a range of operating systems (Windows®
XP/NT®/2000, Linux, NetWare, and Caldera)
and RAID configurations (0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and
JBOD). Both also feature a low-profile MD2
form factor, and accommodate an optionally
available battery backup module (ABM-300)
for 72-hour cache memory protection.

For single-channel RAID control in high-
density servers and workstations, both
conventional and rackmount, the Adaptec
2120S is an excellent choice. For installations
requiring a dual-channel controller, faster
processor, or IA-64 readiness, choose the
Adaptec 2200S.
