Carry a piece of computing history with an Adaptec Backpack, inspired by a company that helped connect computers to the storage they relied on. Founded in 1981, Adaptec became known for host bus adapters and evolved alongside the shift from Parallel SCSI to RAID, PCIe, and SAS technologies. Its story spans pioneering hardware, major acquisitions, and a 2010 transition to Adaptec by PMC. For enthusiasts who remember the hands-on era of computer upgrades, this design celebrates a name that remains part of the storage industry.
Adaptec, Inc. was founded in 1981 by Larry Boucher, Wayne Higashi, and Bernard Nieman as an American computer storage company. It initially focused on devices using Parallel SCSI interfaces and became known for host bus adapters, including its ISA and PCI families, as well as its cross-platform ASPI software interface. As technology advanced, its products added RAID functions and adopted PCIe and SAS interfaces. During the 1990s, Adaptec expanded through acquisitions: Trantor Systems Ltd. of Fremont, California, in 1993; Future Domain Corporation of Irvine, California, in 1995; and Distributed Processing Technology in 1999. On June 8, 2010, PMC-Sierra completed its acquisition of Adaptec’s channel storage business, including the RAID product line and Adaptec brand, and renamed it Adaptec by PMC. Adaptec, Inc. retained other assets and later changed its name to ADPT Corporation, then Steel Excel, Inc. PMC-Sierra was acquired by Microsemi in 2016, and Microsemi was later acquired by Microchip Technology. The Adaptec name continues as a brand for computer storage products.
