I just want to say it worked great on my Sun Raid. I got the newest firmware, found a jumper (not so easy these days) and followed these instructions and I have the last firmware Adaptec made.

I purchased a SUN 375-3536-05R50 8-Port SAS PCI-E RAID from Ebay. It looks like it is a generic Adaptec 5808 does anyone know the largest sized HD these support?
Does anyone know what is the max sized drives I can use with this controller? Thinking of getting a couple of 3 or 4 TB drives, but not sure if the Firmware will support it.

I am looking at the WD Red's.
That looks like what I need. Thank you kind sir. I Googled but as my long time friend always tells me, "Your Google skills just suck dude"!
Thank you again for your help!
I believe this is an Adaptec RAID 5805 (made for SUN). But I am still not sure what cables I can use to run from the card directly to the drives and not through a back plane; if possible. If not, any suggestions on an internal / external bay to use?
Thanks!
I purchased a SUN 375-3536-05R50 8-Port SAS PCI-E RAID Adapter with battery (00014-01-A) off of Ebay with the plans to put in in a Dell 490 I also got. I have 5 Cheetah SAS 400GB drives I want to use it to run a raid 5 on.
Can anyone help me by pointing me to the data cables I need to...
