Introducing the Microchip Adaptec RAID 6445 Single, a robust 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller that blends enterprise-grade reliability with flexible expansion for demanding storage environments. This PCI Express 2.0 x8 plug-in card is engineered to deliver steady throughput, data protection, and streamlined management for servers, workstations, and storage arrays. With eight SAS ports—four internal and four external—the 6445 Single is designed to simplify large-scale deployments, accelerate I/O operations, and keep critical data available even under heavy workloads. Whether you’re consolidating databases, hosting virtual machines, or archiving multimedia content, this Adaptec card helps you maximize performance while maintaining strong fault tolerance and easy scalability.

  • Eight SAS ports for scalable connectivity. The 6445 Single provides a total of 8 SAS channels, distributing access across four internal ports for direct drive connections and four external ports for expanded external storage. This flexible port configuration supports dense, multi-disk environments and simplifies cable routing in compact server chassis, enabling you to extend your storage footprint without sacrificing performance or reliability.
  • Comprehensive RAID levels and JBOD support. With RAID 0, 1, 10, 1E, 5, 6, 50, 60, and JBOD options, you gain a wide range of data protection and performance configurations. This enables optimized reliability for mission-critical databases, backups, and high-availability setups, while JBOD gives you the option to present disks individually to the OS when required.
  • High-throughput SAS interface on a PCIe backbone. The controller uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface paired with a PCI Express 2.0 x8 bus, delivering substantial bandwidth and low-latency I/O for demanding workloads. This combination is ideal for streaming large files, running virtualized environments, and maintaining steady write/read performance across multiple drives.
  • Plug-and-play installation with rack-friendly form factor. Designed as a plug-in PCIe card, the 6445 Single fits in standard servers and workstation chassis with a PCIe x8 slot. Its compact form factor reduces chassis rearrangements, while straightforward BIOS-based configuration minimizes downtime during deployment. This makes it suitable for data centers, labs, and IT closets where quick upgrades matter.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and management. Built to handle continuous operation, this Adaptec RAID controller offers robust data integrity features, consistent drive health monitoring, and centralized management options. You gain predictable rebuild behavior, practical cache management, and clear status reporting to simplify RAID administration and troubleshooting in busy environments.

how to install Microchip Adaptec RAID 6445 Single

Installing the Microchip Adaptec RAID 6445 Single is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maintain system integrity. Follow these steps to add the card to a compatible server or workstation and configure your initial arrays:

  • Power down the server, unplug all cables, and remove the chassis access panel to reveal the motherboard and PCIe slots. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge and handle the card carefully by its edges.
  • Identify a suitable PCIe x8 (or higher) slot on the motherboard. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover if needed and ensure there is adequate clearance for the card’s connectors and cooling.
  • Insert the Adaptec RAID 6445 Single into the PCIe x8 slot with a firm, perpendicular push until it is fully seated. Secure the card with a retaining screw to the chassis, ensuring the card remains steady during operation.
  • Connect SAS cables: attach internal four-port connections to the internal candidate drives or backplane, and connect external four-port cables to external storage or JBOD enclosures as your deployment requires. Verify that cables are firmly seated and not under strain to prevent intermittent connectivity.
  • Power up the server and enter the Adaptec RAID BIOS (keyboard prompt during POST) to configure initial arrays. Create logical drives using the available disks, select RAID levels, and assign preferred write-back/read cache settings if supported. Save your configuration and boot into the operating system; install any required drivers or firmware updates from Microchip/Adaptec to ensure full compatibility and access to management tools. Finally, monitor the RAID status through the RAID BIOS, operating system utilities, or a centralized management console to verify healthy arrays.

Tips for a smooth installation: consult the hardware compatibility list for your server model, update the system BIOS and firmware to the latest versions prior to installation, and plan your disk layout and RAID topology in advance to minimize rebuild times should a drive fail. After installation, frequent health checks and a proactive backup strategy will help you maximize uptime and data protection in production environments.

Great skin relief, but not Vegan.
Great product but it's not Vegan. As a nutritioist and vegetarian, I'm aware that true Vegans do not eat/use anything containing animals or animal by-producs. This contains beeswax which makes it vegetarian but not Vegan. That is the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5. I bought this to use on 2 small patches of dry/scaly skin on my face. Everything else always says "itch relief" and contains strong chemicals which I prefer to not use, especially on my face. After just a couple weeks, the scaly skin is gone and the red is getting lighter every day. It smells very nice as well.

Natrulo Skin Repair Cream
This is not "skin repair cream", this is a TINY jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly! I read back over the description page where I ordered it and it DOESN'T say that it ISN'T Vaseline, so it's my fault for expecting something different! Save your money and just buy a jar of Vaseline!!!!

A miracle
Love this salve! Nothing else helped. I have a recurring cyst in the groin area and it just wouldn't go away. It itched and smelled horrible. Natrulo skin healing cream has been a true miracle. The sore is gone and I feel so much better. Well be buying more for sure.
