Areca ARC-1280ML SAS raid/hba

2x Areca ARC-1280ML SAS raid/hba

ARC-1280MI
(12-port PCIe to SATA ll RAID Adapter)

Areca high-performance PCI-Express bus to SATA RAID host adapters support 12SATA ll peripheral devices on a single host adapter. SATA RAID controller has the same RAID kernel of its field-proven external RAID controllers. Applications that benefit most features from these controllers including NAS, server RAID solutions, web server, supercomputing, near-line backup, security systems and streaming and streaming applications server.
