Review 5405 Adaptec Adapter
Very easy to install and setup on Asus P5KC workstation.CD Rom for Driver did not read,and could not make driver disk.In Vista Installation,Vista found driver after looking down into the AM64 file folder, no need to make a driver disk. I installed in "middle"PCIx slot, which made a difference for other installers.Came with cable kit, clear instructions for installation,and fast and reliable.

If you're just setting up a RAID 0 array this isn't as much of an issue since it's not that intensive.However, the problem with this is that any system glitch can possibly result in read/write errors on the array since the system itself is managing it.What a high-end RAID controller such as this Adaptec 5405 though, the controller card has an on-board processor that manages the...
