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 RAID 1420SA
The Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1420SA card
is a four-port controller featuring Adaptec
HostRAID™ – an integrated RAID tech-
nology that maximises system performance
and uptime.
The Adaptec 1420SA supports up to four
Serial ATA 3Gb/s ports and offers RAID lev-
els 0, 1 and 10 for desktops, workstations and
entry-level servers. Additional advanced fea-
tures include support for Native Command
Queuing – NCQ increases I/O performance
by arranging data requests into the most 
efficient order – and support for 48-bit Logi-
cal Block Addressing (LBA) to enable use of
disk drives larger than 137 GB.
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 pro-
tection. On personal computers, the RAID 0
feature of the Adaptec 1420SA bolsters the
performance of applications such as audio/
video streaming and gaming.
The RAID 1 and 10 capability of the Adaptec
1420SA protects data for a wide variety of
applications that require high availability. In
the small office and home office environ-
ment, 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?
The Adaptec 1420SA Serial ATA II RAID
family of controllers is a key part of the
Adaptec effort to help organisations cost-
effectively deploy, manage, scale and protect
storage resources. Adaptec is driving RAID
adoption with new RAID product and tech-
nology development, compatibility testing
with motherboards, operating systems, appli-
cations and disk drives, RAID application
education and global customer care.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1420SA 
performance advantages
The Adaptec 1420SA improves performance
over a comparable SATA RAID controller by
offering four 3Gb/sec Serial ATA ports, NCQ
support and 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.
Easy-to-use storage management
The Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1420SA oper-
ates under Adaptec Storage Manager™, a
storage management tool that centralises
management of all Adaptec host-based and
all hardwarebased RAID products. The soft-
ware enables remote management, monitor-
ing and configuration of RAID arrays
through secure, encrypted remote communi-
cations. 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 technol-
ogy is more proven. The Adaptec Serial ATA
RAID 1420SA has been extensively tested
with third-party systems to deliver the
utmost in compatibility. It is backed by a
three-year warranty and Adaptec’s legendary
technical support.
