The Series 6T RAID controllers, with recessed top-mounted connectors, offer maximum flexibility for installation in high density servers with condensed space requirements. With the same Series 6 family superior performance, scalability, reliability and enhanced bandwidth of its 6 Gb/s SAS 2.0 interfaces and the PCIe Gen 2 host connection it offers up to 60% higher sustained sequential throughput than previous generation controllers.

Based on PMC-Sierra's market-leading, multi-core SRC 8x6G RAID-on-Chip (RoC) the Adaptec RAID 6805T can deliver up to 2 GB/s sustained data transfer rate to the host. Peak performance is up to 4.8GB/s through the SAS 2.0 interfaces and 4.0GB/s through the PCIe Gen 2 host interface. Using SAS expanders, it can connect up to 256 SATA/SAS.

The Adaptec RAID 6805T supports a broad range of operating systems, compatibility with more than 300 third-party devices, and full integration with Adaptec Storage Manager™ for centralized management of all Adaptec RAID controllers on the network.
