339051-001 - HP / LSI Logic LSI20320 SCSI PCI-X Controller Card

Product Description

The HP / LSI Logic 339051-001 is a robust SCSI controller card based on the LSI Logic LSI20320 chipset. This card utilizes the Ultra320 SCSI interface, which offers a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 320 MB/s, providing high-speed data throughput essential for demanding storage applications. The controller connects to the host system via a PCI-X bus, a high-bandwidth interface prevalent in servers of its generation, ensuring efficient communication between the controller and the server's CPU. This controller is designed to connect servers to a wide range of SCSI peripheral devices, including hard drives, tape drives, and storage arrays. Its dual-channel capability (often found in LSI20320-based cards) allows for multiple SCSI devices to be connected and managed simultaneously, enhancing storage flexibility and performance. The LSI Logic chipset is renowned for its reliability and performance in enterprise environments. As a product from HP and LSI Logic, the 339051-001 is built for the rigors of server environments, providing stable and high-performance SCSI connectivity. It is a critical component for systems requiring fast and dependable access to SCSI-based storage, whether for primary storage, backup solutions, or data archiving.
