The Adaptec 4805SAS RAID controller in this listing is used but in excellent condition. This card has the optional battery to protect data in the card's cache in the event of a power failure. The card comes with a cable (pictured) that connects the card to internally-mounted SAS or SATA drives.

When using the 4805SAS with a 4-drive RAID-6 array, Windows Vista User Experience Index reported a disk performance score of 5.9, the highest possible value today.

The current newegg.com price for this card (with no battery) is $780.00, and the ABM-600 battery sells for well over $100. Get it all here for a fraction of that. Terms We have flashed the latest firmware onto the controller and tested it thoroughly, and we always ship in static bags and bubble wrap.
