Adaptec Battery Module Question

You would want the 800. The t is the exact same thing except the battery is located remotley. There are only a few niche applications I can see the t being necessary.
 
wow those things are expensive! You can buy a 450w UPS for less than the price of that thing!
WTF?! I guess adaptec figures if you are running a raid card, you don't mind paying 20x for a cordless phone battery.

The battery sits on a PCB circuit board with standoffs and a micro interface. Yes, they are expensive for what they are essentially but keep in mind, these things works in 1,300 dollar raid controllers and can keep a raid array worth millions in data value alive. Not just that, but when you buy a large controller worth over a thousand, your dumping hundreds into cables, thousands into drives, and pricless worth in data... then a $110 looks like pocket change.
 
unless you're buying it for home use and every little bit counts :(
 
Right - and my point being that for the same $$ you could back up your whole system, not just the raid card.
 
You are buying a $$$ enterprise controller for home use and complaining about cost? As for UPS, I have both UPS and battery backup on my controller. Redundancy FTW.
