Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Adaptec has a distinct place in computer history, with a story that began in 1981 and followed storage technology from Parallel SCSI adapters to RAID, PCIe, and SAS products. Its brand continued through a corporate transition in 2010 and remains associated with computer storage. This square porcelain fridge magnet adds a small reminder of that evolution to a kitchen, office, or collector display. It is a thoughtful keepsake for PC hardware fans and anyone curious about the companies behind computing’s changing infrastructure.
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.
