Serial ATA II, the successor technology to
SATA 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 II technology delivers
data transfer rates with 3 Gb/s while still 
supporting 1.5 Gb/s (SATA I).
Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1420SA
The Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1420SA card
is a four-port controller featuring Adaptec
HostRAID™ – an integrated RAID technology
that maximizes system performance and
uptime. The Adaptec 1420SA supports up 
to four Serial ATA drives and offers RAID 
levels 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), and JBOD
(individual drive). The Adaptec 48-bit logical
block addressing (LBA) support enables use
of disk drives exceeding 137 GB in capacity.
The Adaptec 1420SA supports Windows®
2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP,
RedHat Linux, SuSE Linux, and NetWare.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID applications
The Adaptec 1420SA allows end-users to tune
their system performance and data protection.
On personal computers, the striping feature
of the Adaptec 1420SA bolsters the perform-
ance of applications such as audio/video
streaming and gaming.
The mirroring capability of the Adaptec
1420SA protects data for a wide variety of
applications that require high availability. In
the small office and home office environment,
the Adaptec 1420SA can be used as a boot
device to protect the operating system in
print, file, and storage servers. Four-drive
connectivity allows use of up to two striping
or mirroring RAID arrays at the same time.
Why Adaptec Serial ATA RAID?

Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1420SA 
performance advantages
The Adaptec 1420SA improves performance
over a comparable SATA RAID controller by
offering a PCI-X/133 MHz host interface
with bandwidth up to 1056 MB/s, which is
twice as much as a common 64bit PCI 
interface. Its four SATA II ports can deliver 
a throughput of approximately 300 MB/s each.
Easy-to-use storage management
The Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1420SA operates
under Adaptec Storage Manager™, a storage
management tool that centralizes management
of all Adaptec host-based and all hardware
based RAID products. The software enables
remote management, monitoring, and 
configuration of RAID arrays through secure,
encrypted remote communications. 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
Adaptec has been delivering storage and I/O
solutions to the industry for more than 24
years. In fact, Adaptec is the undisputed RAID
leader, and no other vendor’s technology is
