Description

The Apple 661-3173 is a Dual Channel Ultra-320 SCSI controller card, specifically developed for integration into Apple's Xserve server line. This card is built upon the Ultra-320 SCSI standard, which delivers a maximum theoretical throughput of 320MB/s per channel, ensuring rapid data access for performance-sensitive server applications. The dual-channel configuration allows for the management of two independent SCSI buses, thereby expanding the number of connectable SCSI devices and increasing the aggregate storage bandwidth available to the Xserve system. This controller is essential for Xserve configurations that demand robust and high-speed connectivity to internal or external SCSI hard drives, tape drives, and other SCSI peripherals. It empowers administrators to construct high-capacity and high-performance storage solutions within or connected to the Xserve, supporting critical server functions such as file serving, application hosting, and data backup. The card's design ensures seamless compatibility and optimized performance within Apple's server ecosystem. By offering dual channels and supporting the advanced Ultra-320 protocol, the 661-3173 card significantly boosts the storage capabilities of the Xserve, enabling it to efficiently handle intensive I/O operations. It stands as a vital component for organizations that relied on the Xserve for their IT infrastructure and required dependable, high-speed access to SCSI storage for their business-critical operations.
