4- and 8-port PCIe Gen2 HBAs offer broad device compatibility,
scalability, and exibility
Adaptec PCIe Gen2 6Gb/s
SAS and SATA HBA Family
(6405H, 6805H)
e Series 6H family of Adaptec by PMC SAS/
SATA host bus adapters (HBA) oers the ideal
economical solution for customers requiring
high-performance I/O connectivity.
e HBAs connect to hard disk drives (HDDs),
solid-state drives (SSDs), removable media,
and SAS tape drives, and support the migration
of disks from onboard SATA interfaces or other
SATA/SAS I/O controllers.
Flexible, Scalable, Customizable
Using PMC’s PM8001 SAS protocol controller
and a PCIe Gen2 interface, Series 6H HBAs
support both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and
Serial ATA (SATA) interfaces to provide the
exibility to use cost-eective, high-capacity
SATA drives and/or high-performance SAS
drives.
Compatibility with a multitude of storage
devices enables system builders to develop
server, storage, and backup solutions tailored
to meet specic customer needs.
Series 6H HBAs also support SAS expanders,
allowing end users to scale-up and design an
optimal price-per-drive solution.
Series 6H HBAs feature a form factor shorter
than low-prole MD2, enabling easy installation
and cable connections in dense server
environments where space is at a premium.
e PCIe x4 bus expands connectivity from
high-end servers into workstation-class and
industrial PC systems. Up to 8 SAS ports allow
for maximum I/O throughput, and the OS
drivers use MSI-X to leverage all available host
CPU cores to achieve maximum performance.
Broad Operating System Support
Extensive operating system support includes
major soware releases for Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, Windows
2008R2 & SBS 2011, VMware 5.x and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
Compatibility, Reliability, and Support
Series 6H HBAs have been extensively tested
with third-party systems and devices to deliver
the utmost in compatibility. ese HBAs are
equipped with both uEFI and legacy BIOS
options as well as a CTRL-A conguration
utility and HII-based BIOS tools.
Series 6H HBAs are backed by a three year
warranty and the company’s technical support
team.
