Adaptec quality continues on
By HMMWV
As with all adaptec cards, you can expect quality LVD scsi interfaces at a reasonable cost. This card has 2 connectors, a micro parallel scsi externally and a normal sized 68 pin scsi inside the case. It also includes a low profile bracket to use with servers.There are two versions of this card - in this version you save $50 but don't get any scsi cables. If you already have scsi cables around it's the cheapest way to add scsi to a modern motherboard and use one of those tiny X1 slots.A cautionary note - windows server 2003 (32 or 64 bit) is the last version that supports byte sequential backup devices - e.g. tape. Once you go to vista backups will be disc to disc, and given the high price of quantum drives for terrabyte storage its cheaper to buy more drives than to write to tape. Even the fastest drives move about 1/2 TB per hour to tape so you may be better off in vista backing up to a removable drive system instead of tape.Also you must download the 64 bit drivers from adaptec at the time you install the card. I had no problems putting a DLT drive on a quad core windows server 2003 system with this card using my exiting cable.

By Joseph Corbett
I had to want for this this card to come out for a long time since Adaptec first came came out with a SCSI 360 card only for PCI-X at first! Only with the the support of others out there did Adaptec make a card that we could use too, Thank you all very much for that help! This is a great card, because after putting it into my computer Windows 7 ultra was able to identify it and load the drivers to make it work very soon afterwards.Until I got that card inside my computer my drives were going half speed at U160 since the only card I had in it at the time was the 29160N. It is not a bad card, but the new card was able to to speed up my drives to the U360 speed that they were made for!I urge anyone that has the same issue with U320 drives but only U180 speed to get this card as well. Adaptec may not make this card very much longer so getting this card very soon would be a very wise choice to make.
