The name of Adaptec was largely known in the storage world as an
excellent specialist of RAIDs and HBAs.
After selling recently its RAID channel business to PMC-Sierra for $34
million in cash, it confirms our opinion following the acquisition of
Adaptec by Steel Partners, a privately-owned hedge fund sponsor: "Being
the main shareholder of Adaptec, it took the rein of the company after a
long battle, not to pursue its activity, but for a single financial
purpose: selling it."
