COMPATIBILITY REPORT This Compatibility Report reflects testing performed by Adaptec to test the interoperability of the products listed. It does not attempt to validate the quality of or preference for any of the listed products. It is also not an inclusive list and reflects a representative sample of products in each of the categories listed. All testing was done by the Adaptec Product Verification Group and the Adaptec InterOperability Test Lab. Compatibility List for: Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 2420SA Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 2820SA Minimum testing for listed host systems consists of single and multiple RAID controller recognition, RAID controller BIOS interaction with host, and operating system bootability from each RAID controller from every compatible PCI, PCI-X, or PCIe slot. Systems that are capable of supporting more than 4GB and more then 8GB of memory are also tested in operating system environments that support such a configuration. Please note that some systems or motherboards may be listed multiple times if different system BIOS or CPU configurations were used.
