Overview

The good:
  • SATA and SAS in a single storage system
  • Can scale up to 60TB using 500GB drives
  • Excellent management software using Adaptec's Storage Manager
The bad:
  • Review unit only had a standard profile -- not suitable for blade servers or 1U boxes.
The bottomline:

The Adaptec 31205 offers good value for companies wanting to use SATA or SAS drives in RAID configuration and offers scalability and management from a centralised console.
