Adaptec 1835200 29160N Single Channel Ultra 160 SCSI 1 x 68-Pin RAID Controller Card

Product Description

The Adaptec 1835200 is a high-performance RAID controller designed to manage and protect SCSI storage devices. Featuring a single-channel Ultra160 SCSI interface, it offers robust connectivity for both internal and external SCSI hard drives and tape drives. The controller supports a comprehensive range of RAID levels, including RAID 0 for striping performance, RAID 1 for mirroring redundancy, RAID 5 and 6 for balanced performance and redundancy, and RAID 10, 50, and 60 for advanced configurations requiring both speed and data protection. Equipped with a PCI-X bus interface, the 1835200 ensures high bandwidth communication between the controller and the host system, which is crucial for demanding I/O operations common in server environments. The inclusion of hardware RAID capabilities offloads the processing of RAID calculations from the host CPU, thereby improving overall system performance and responsiveness. This makes it an ideal solution for applications that require fast, reliable, and fault-tolerant access to large amounts of data. This RAID controller card is particularly well-suited for use in servers, workstations, and storage arrays where data integrity and availability are paramount. Its ability to provide advanced data protection through various RAID configurations, combined with the high throughput of Ultra160 SCSI and PCI-X, makes it a powerful tool for managing critical data. The 68-pin connector supports a variety of SCSI devices, offering flexibility in system design and expansion.
