Card works great software out of date . I installed the card on a Dell Poweredge 1800 (dual 3 GHz Xenon, 8GB Ram) running Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Standard 2011 64Bit 1 Pack DSP OEI DVD 1-4CPU 5 Clt. The driver on the install CD was dated 12/11/2007 but a later one (10/19/2010) is available to download from Adaptec. In the above configuration the drives are hot swapable.The install disk is bootable and you can also make a driver floppy from the bootable or under Windows. Most machines these days do not have floppy drives but I have a TEAC 1.44MB USB External Floppy Disk Drive (Black) for such cases. If booted on the CD it also requires PS/2 keyboard and mouse as it does not contain USB drivers.The included Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) is version 5.10.00. Adaptec Storage Manager 6.50.00 is available on the Adaptec site (Windows 64 bit version is asm_windows_x64_v6_50_18584.exe MD5 EF1FF6A6758A467240F052CB75A8BD6A). I am not real interested in high speed as the board is used with a StarTech.com 5.25-Inch Bay Mounted 2.5-Inch and 3.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Docking Station SATADOCK525 (Black) to do backups and clones.Approximate ATTO bench32 results for blocks greater than 256 KB:

I have installed so many similar cards that I did not bother to read it. Another said overpriced, I want a product that is reliable and will be supported by the vendor for a long time. Price is important, but a secondary consideration.Based in my preliminary results ordered 3 more 1220SA cards.

over priced . No manuals, over priced compared to others.Picture had a heatsink on the chip but the adapter I received did not.
Adaptec 2232100-R 1220SA PCI Express X1 2-Port SATA 3GBS Low-profile Host RAID Controller Reviews
Whoever wrote the manual needs help. . My objective was simple. Install a RAID1 Drive (2 x 2 TB drives) on an existing computer to back-up music and videos. So this drive was to act as an extention, and holds no windows information.
The hardware installed fine.
Installing an internal disc drive controller software can be a challenge as you have to address the boot configuration of the computer as well, the installation of the drive, (ARC Utility) and software (Adaptec Storage Manager). It was made more challenging by the faulty and error filled instructions that came with the board. I knew I was in trouble when it was required me to create a disc driver disc using a floppy disc in year 2010.
Obviously that cannot be done.
I wound up struggling mightly to get the driver installed. I attemped format using the quick format strategy, and then using both Adaptec Storage manager Software. At one point the installation corrupted my wireless keyboard and the system defaulted to Arabic language, right to left typing. Thanks for restore.
In the end I wound up sucessfully installing the driver through the windows control panel hardware interface.
There were no instructions on how to assign the drive a letter, help from someone else resolved that problem.
Once installed it seems to work well. I had one problem which has required a driver rebuild, which again, the Adaptec Stroage Manager identified as being a degraded drive, but there were no instructions on how to fix it.
The main manual about 200 pages was useless, obviously no one at Adaptec has ever tried to install the drives using their own instructions.

Adaptec 1220SA . The board installed easily and worked well. No surprises or fights to get it operational.
