330552-001 - HP / Adaptec Ultra2 SCSI Controller Card

Description

The HP 330552-001 is an Adaptec-manufactured Ultra2 SCSI controller card, offered by HP for their server and workstation product lines. This card is designed to provide a high-speed and reliable interface for connecting a variety of SCSI storage devices, including hard drives, tape drives, and optical drives. It adheres to the Ultra2 SCSI standard, which offers significant performance improvements over previous SCSI generations, particularly with its Low Voltage Differential (LVD) signaling capability, enabling data transfer rates of up to 80 MB/s. The controller typically features a PCI interface, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of server and workstation motherboards from the era. It supports both LVD (Low Voltage Differential) and SE (Single-Ended) modes, providing flexibility in connecting different types of SCSI devices. The card usually includes connectors for both internal and external SCSI devices, allowing for versatile storage configurations. With support for up to 15 SCSI devices on a single channel, it's well-suited for expanding storage capacity in systems that require multiple drives or tape backups. This controller card is an essential component for maintaining or upgrading legacy systems that rely on SCSI storage. It ensures that organizations can continue to utilize their existing SCSI hardware investments while benefiting from the performance and reliability of the Ultra2 standard. Compatibility with specific HP systems and operating systems should be confirmed.
