Introduction

The Adaptec RAID 4000 Unified Serial zero-channel RAID (ZCR) card offers the ideal solution for customers who want an affordable, flexible upgrade path to advanced RAID for SATA and SAS drives. It provides an affordable, high-performance solution for businesses requiring data protection. The low- profile form factor is ideal for workstations and high-density server environments.

The Adaptec RAID 4000 card takes advantage of the system motherboard's existing SAS I/O ports by using complementary logic designed on the motherboard. This innovative approach eliminates the need for a SAS I/O chip on the card, reducing its cost. The Adaptec 4000 ZCR card offers high-speed throughput, scalability, space-saving features, and a cost-effective upgrade path to a full-featured hardware RAID solution.
