HP 153748-001 StorageWorks Ultra2 SCSI SCSI Controller

Product Description

The HP 153748-001 StorageWorks Ultra2 SCSI Controller is a PCI adapter designed to provide high-speed connectivity for SCSI peripherals in HP server environments. It implements the Ultra2 SCSI standard, which offers significant performance improvements over previous SCSI generations, supporting data transfer rates of up to 40MB/s. This makes it suitable for connecting a variety of storage devices, including hard drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives. This controller card supports LVD (Low Voltage Differential) signaling, which enhances signal integrity and allows for longer cable lengths compared to single-ended SCSI. This feature is crucial for building robust and reliable storage subsystems. The 153748-001 is designed to integrate seamlessly into compatible HP ProLiant servers and other systems equipped with PCI slots. By providing a reliable interface for SCSI devices, this controller ensures efficient data access and management for storage-intensive applications. It is a key component for expanding storage capacity and connectivity in older server architectures that rely on SCSI technology. The HP 153748-001 is a testament to HP's commitment to providing versatile and dependable hardware solutions for enterprise data centers.
