data centers, IT environments and standard server environments to consumers must meet a wide range of requirements - from simple connection to extreme data storage capacities. The PCIe 3.0 SAS / SATA RAID adapters Series 8E with 12 Gbps are an entry-level solution, but still offer the same stability as hardware RAID solutions. The adapters offer thanks basic RAID 0,1,10 and integrated cache compared to other adapter card solutions with 6 Gbps significantly accelerated performance. They are suitable for cost-effective platforms for not having the full performance and full functionality of our standard RAID adapter of Series 8 are required. The 8805E is suitable with eight internal SAS / SATA ports ideal for applications require a higher bandwidth. Both models meet the requirements of industrial PC workstations or servers entry level. The models 8405E and 8805E support four or eight drives maximum, since none of the models supports the use of expanders.
