Adaptec 12Gbps 8-Port SmartHBA

The Adaptec 2290400-R is a low-profile internal host bus adapter that provides eight 12 Gbps ports. It combines full HBA functionality with basic hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support. The Microsemi controller delivers up to 1.5M IOPs while offering significant power savings. It is built for reliable, durable operation in server environments.

Internal storage arrays needing hardware RAID

This adapter suits builders who want hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 on eight internal 12 Gbps ports without a separate RAID-on-chip. It is not for systems that require external port connectivity or cache-backed write acceleration with battery or flash backup. It is also not for deployments needing advanced RAID levels beyond 0, 1, 5 and 10.

Eight 12 Gbps internal ports with RAID 0/1/5/10

The single specification that decides fit is the eight internal 12 Gbps ports paired with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. If the chassis or backplane only offers fewer drive bays or a different interface, the card cannot be fully utilised. Confirm the port count and RAID level match the storage topology before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 on its eight internal ports?

Yes, the 2290400-R delivers RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across its eight internal ports with full HBA functionality and basic hardware RAID, reaching up to 1.5M IOPs.

Can I keep my current 12 Gbps host bus and still use this card?

The card is a 12 Gbps MD2-LP SmartHBA adapter, so it matches a 12 Gbps host bus and provides eight internal ports for direct drive attachment.

How do I confirm the adapter is delivering the rated 1.5M IOPs after installation?

Monitor the controller's management utility or OS performance counters for sustained IOPs; the hardware is specified for up to 1.5M IOPs under full RAID operation.
