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 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.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA
The Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA card 
is a two-port controller featuring Adaptec
HostRAID™ – an integrated RAID technology
that maximizes system performance and
uptime. The Adaptec 1210SA supports up 
to two Serial ATA drives and offers RAID 
levels 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), and JBOD
(individual drive). The Adaptec 48-bit LBA
support enables use of disk drives exceeding
137 GByte in capacity. The Adaptec 1210SA
supports Windows® XP, Windows 2000,
RedHat Linux, and SuSE Linux.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID applications
The Adaptec 1210SA allows end users to 
tune their system performance and data 
protection. On personal computers, the
striping feature of the Adaptec 1210SA 
bolsters the performance of applications 
such as audio/video streaming and gaming.
The Adaptec 1210SA’s mirroring capability
protects data for applications such as personal
finance. In the small office and home office
environment, the Adaptec 1210SA can be
used as a boot device to protect the operating
system in print, file, and storage servers.
Why Adaptec Serial ATA RAID?
The Adaptec 1210SA is the first in a family 
of Serial ATA RAID controllers delivered by
Adaptec. The family of controllers is a key
part of the Adaptec effort to help organizations
cost-effectively deploy, manage, scale, and
protect storage resources. Adaptec is driving
RAID adoption with new RAID product and
technology development, compatibility testing
with motherboards, operating systems, appli-
cations and disk drives, RAID application
education, and global customer care.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA 
performance advantages 
The Adaptec 1210SA improves performance
over a comparable parallel ATA RAID 
controller by 40 percent. (Figure 1) 
Implementing a two-drive RAID 0 array
using the Adaptec 1210SA delivers double 
the performance of a single Serial ATA 
drive. (Figure 2)
Easy-to-use storage management 
The Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA operates
under Adaptec Storage Manager™ – Browser
Edition, a browser-based storage management
tool that centralizes management of all Adaptec
host-based RAID products. The intuitive
RAID management tool provides pop-up 
tips and online help to simplify the creation
and management of RAID arrays.
Compatibility, reliability, and support
Like all Adaptec products, the Adaptec Serial
ATA RAID 1210SA has been extensively tested
with third-party systems to deliver the utmost
in compatibility, now and in the future. It is
backed by a 3-year warranty and Adaptec’s
industry-leading technical support.
