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.

Minimum testing for listed hard drives consists of recognition on each RAID controller model and 24 hours of data integrity I/O stress load on each RAID Level
under a variety of RAID states (optimal, suboptimal, degraded, compressed, expanded, and migrating). Please note that some drive models may be listed twice if
more than one drive firmware revision was tested.
