The controllers can handle hardware RAID 0, 1 and 10 for up to 128 SATA and SAS disk and tape drive systems.

All told, the Series 2 family comprises three products: the $250 Adaptec RAID 2405 Kit with four internal ports; the $225 Adaptec 2405 Single with four internal ports, and the $250 Adaptec 2045 Single. The devices will ship at the end of this month.The Register
