399490-001 - HP Dual Channel 64-bit 133MHz PCI-x 8 Internal-Port SAS Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 399490-001, also known as the SAS3080X, is a robust Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides essential storage connectivity for servers equipped with PCI-X slots. This adapter is designed to support a total of eight ports, offering flexibility for connecting multiple SAS or SATA drives. The card operates at SAS 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s speeds, which were standard for enterprise storage solutions during the era of PCI-X technology. This HBA utilizes the 64-bit PCI-X interface running at 133MHz, ensuring a significant data transfer rate for its time. It is an ideal solution for expanding storage capacity in older HP ProLiant servers or other systems that still rely on PCI-X expansion slots. The 399490-001 facilitates the integration of both SAS and SATA drives, allowing for a mix of performance and cost-effective storage options within a single system. While primarily functioning as an HBA, the SAS3080X chipset often includes basic RAID capabilities, such as RAID 0 and RAID 1, for simple data redundancy. This makes it a versatile component for environments that require enhanced storage reliability without the complexity of full-fledged hardware RAID controllers. Its durable design and HP branding signify its suitability for demanding enterprise applications where stability and compatibility are paramount.
