The Adaptec 4805SAS RAID controller appears not to have been used, though the box has been opened. The box contents include:

• RAID controller in original protective packaging
• Quick Start Guide
• 1 four-lane SAS/SATA fanout cable (not 2 like it says on the box)
• Bootable installation CD
• Utility CD with Adaptec Storage Manager

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. Terms We have flashed the latest firmware onto the controller and tested it thoroughly (with drives attached). Nevertheless, we will gladly accept returns for seven days if the card doesn't function perfectly.
