## Summary description

The Adaptec 82885T is a high-performance internal SAS expander card designed for scalable storage solutions. Featuring a PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface, it supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gb/s. Equipped with 7 internal SFF-8643 and 2 external SFF-8644 connectors, this controller provides extensive connectivity for enterprise-grade storage arrays, ensuring reliable data management and high-speed throughput for demanding server environments.

## Long description

The Adaptec 82885T SAS Expander Card is a high-performance solution designed to scale storage capacity in enterprise server environments. Operating at 12 Gb/s, this card provides extensive connectivity by offering 36 ports in a compact, low-profile MD2 form factor. It serves as a reliable fan-out option, allowing administrators to connect a large number of SAS or SATA drives to an existing SAS RAID adapter or Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
Advantages
This expander card offers exceptional flexibility for dense server configurations by utilizing mini-SAS HD connectors, which simplify cable management. It supports both internal and external storage expansion, featuring 28 internal ports for direct drive connection and 8 external ports for JBOD enclosures. The card is designed for seamless integration with existing storage infrastructures, maintaining full compatibility with various generations of Adaptec controllers as well as third-party HBAs. Furthermore, it includes robust enclosure management support through SGPIO and SES2, ensuring that critical device and slot mapping information is efficiently routed to the host controller.
Suitable for
Expanding storage capacity in enterprise servers
Connecting large arrays of SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs
Building scalable JBOD storage solutions
High-density data center environments requiring reliable throughput
This card is not suitable for standalone operation as it requires a host SAS RAID adapter or HBA to function. It does not perform RAID processing itself and is intended solely for port expansion and connectivity management.
Key specifications
Data transfer rate: 12 Gb/s
Host interface: PCIe 2.0 x4
Total ports: 36
Internal connectors: 7x SFF-8643
External connectors: 2x SFF-8644
Form factor: Low-profile MD2
Enclosure management: SGPIO and SES2 support
The card is installed into an available PCIe slot, which primarily serves as a power source. While it can draw power from the PCIe slot, it also provides an auxiliary 4-pin power connector for alternative power supply configurations. Once installed, the card is managed through the connected HBA or RAID adapter, which handles all device communication and monitoring tasks.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your server has an available PCIe slot for mounting and power
Verify compatibility with your existing SAS RAID adapter or HBA
Check that your cabling requirements match the SFF-8643 and SFF-8644 connector types
Confirm that your storage enclosure supports SGPIO or SES2 for full management features
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and stability in large-scale storage environments, ensure that all SAS expander cards are properly daisy-chained and that the final card in the chain is correctly configured to report all device mapping information to the host adapter.
