445009-002 - HP StorageWorks Dual Channel Ultra320E PCI-Express SCSI LVD Host Bus Adapter for MSL Libraries

Description

The HP 445009-002 is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) from HP's StorageWorks line, specifically engineered to facilitate robust connections between servers and SCSI-based storage devices. Featuring a dual-channel Ultra320E SCSI LVD interface, this adapter is capable of delivering exceptional data throughput, reaching speeds of up to 320MB/s on each channel. This makes it highly suitable for demanding storage applications such as high-speed data backups, archiving, and direct-attached storage configurations. Designed with a PCI Express (PCIe) interface, the 445009-002 ensures efficient communication with modern server systems. The use of LVD (Low Voltage Differential) signaling enhances signal integrity over longer cable lengths and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, contributing to reliable data transfers. This HBA is particularly optimized for seamless integration with HP's MSL (Modular Smart Array Library) tape libraries, ensuring compatibility and peak performance for automated backup and recovery solutions. By providing two independent SCSI channels, this adapter allows for the connection of multiple SCSI devices, such as tape drives or disk arrays, enhancing storage density and flexibility. The HP 445009-002 is a critical component for organizations relying on SCSI storage infrastructure, offering a reliable and high-speed pathway for data management and ensuring the integrity of critical business data.
