Adaptec 2240900-R 1430SA PCI Express X4 4-Port SATA 3GBS Low-profile Host RAID Controller

Great Deal Adaptec 2240900-R 1430SA PCI Express X4 4-Port SATA 3GBS Low-profile Host RAID Controller



I installed this in my PC with no issues at all. I just put the card in the slot, hooked up my 4 drives and off I went. I am using this on an AMD64 running Ubuntu Linux.

No issues after 2 years - S. Mason -
I have this installed on a PC running windows 2003 server for over 2 years and have had no issues with it. Great card!

It Doesn't Work - Adaptec Support is the Worst - ALK -
This was supposed to be a way of adding up to four drives to my system, which includes an ASUS P5E3 Premium motherboard. Instead when I added the card, my computer hung intermittently at boot-up (XP SP3). It took a while to figure out that the cause of the hang-ups was as the Adaptec 1430 was polling the drives.

Adaptec tried an RMA and the new card performed the same way. Then they said it was my drives - 3 different manufacturer/models of drives have the same hang. Besides what type of driver when it has a problem hangs the entire computer? None of these were boot drives and were always setup as JBODs.

So here we are months after I could return the card for a refund with a card that I can't use. Having the computer successfully boot 1 time out of 3 is not something that can be used.

Adaptec tech support has gone silent on me. So, I'll spend the time I'd be trouble-shooting on writing accurate technical reviews of their card and technical support. Too bad Adaptec isn't the company it used to be.

Stay away from this card unless you are sure it will work with your system.

1 Esata/ 3SATA II RAID5/JBOD Pci Controller

Great Deal 1 Esata/ 3SATA II RAID5/JBOD Pci Controller



I had purchased a Port Multiplier also from Addonics so I could connect up to 5 SATA hard drives at 500GB each. What I didn't know before I bought that is that MOST (according to the condescending Addonics tech support guy) motherboards are not compatible with port multipliers so I would need an additional Host Controller to get it to work. So after begrudgingly forking over another for this controller, I can now get my 5 hard drives up and running by connecting my port multiplier to this. It also supports various RAID configurations, which is what I'm using it for.

This model, the ADSA3R5-e was the one he recommended me to buy, and it does its job fine. It fits into a regular PCI slot with 1 external port and 3 internal ones.

I'm not an expert by any means at this stuff, but I managed to figure it out eventually. If you happen to be reading this and are considering adopting port multiplier technology, maybe learn from my mistake and not assume that you won't need a special host controller like this one...because chances are you will.

Great with internal and external drives - MagicMan708 -
Picked this up for two purposes: to speed up a RAID1 setup over Windows 2003 software RAID, and to access an eSATA external drive. Used with a much older server that only had IDE and PCI. The hardware RAID1 provided by the card with two 500 GB SATA drives was 4x faster than the software RAID provided by Windows 2003 on two similar IDE drives. The controller also worked perfectly with an external 1 TB eSATA drive. Well worth the cost of the controller for speeding up/enhancing an older system setup.

Fast and works - J. Shuler -
Installed into an old system beside a SCSI LVD card in Win2k, loaded up new RAID-1 with no problem on two new drives. There was some learning curve, unlike industrial strengh raid controllers the volumes you configure in card bios (legacy) are different than those created with software raid configuration utility. PROTIP: you need the bios version to boot the drives.

Reinstalled winxp no problem after discovering booting issue and recopying data to get rid of old storage. So far, quick and reliable. Rebuilt the volume 1 time after i hard booted it, it's not server grade but works fine for the house.
