Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 2410SA AAR2410SA/EFIGS/KIT Data Sheet
Product codes
AAR2410SA/EFIGS/KIT
Serial ATA, the successor technology to parallel
ATA for data storage, is a point-to-point
connection that delivers full throughput to
each storage device by allowing multiple
ports to be managed by a single controller.
Adaptec’s Serial ATA technology delivers
data transfer rates starting at 1.5 Gbit/sec
and a performance roadmap that calls for
extensions to 3.0 Gbit/sec and ultimately
6.0 Gbit/sec. Adaptec’s Serial ATA cables
are thinner, simpler to route and install, and
provide better airflow for system cooling
than parallel ATA cables. Designed for desk-
tops, workstations and entry-level servers,
the Adaptec native Serial ATA solutions
are comparable in cost to parallel ATA
solutions and fully compatible with
current operating systems.

Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 2410SA
Adaptec makes it easier and more cost-
effective for small businesses to deploy,
manage, configure and protect storage
resources with the Adaptec Serial ATA RAID
2410SA. This card is an affordable, advanced-
featured 4-port PCI RAID card that provides
cost-effective, high-performance storage
connectivity and data protection for high-
end workstations and entry-level servers.
The Adaptec 48-bit LBA support enables use
of disk drives exceeding 137 GByte in capacity.
The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1,
5, 10 and JBOD to provide configuration
flexibility for your storage investments.

RAID Features
The Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 2410SA
combines the cost and performance
advantages of native Serial ATA technology
with Adaptec’s advanced RAID feature set
to maximize data availability and system
performance. Adaptec’s exclusive Optimized
Disk Utilization enables the controller to
use the full available capacity of all attached
drives, even if the drive sizes are different,
unlike competing solutions that limit capacity
usage to the smallest drive in an array. The
controller also allows IT managers to create
multiple arrays across a single set of drives
and tailor arrays to applications. With RAID
Level Migration, data protection and system
performance levels can be tuned to changing
business needs.
