650926-B21 - HP H222 PCI Express 8-Channel SAS/SATA (4-internal 4-External) Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 650926-B21, identified as the H222 Host Bus Adapter (HBA), is a high-performance storage connectivity solution designed for HP ProLiant servers. This adapter provides eight channels of SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) connectivity, supporting data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per channel. The H222 HBA is crucial for servers that require direct attachment to a significant number of internal and external storage devices, such as hard drives, SSDs, and tape drives. This HBA features a balanced port configuration, offering four internal SAS/SATA ports (typically using SFF-8087 connectors) for connecting drives within the server chassis, and four external SAS/SATA ports (typically using SFF-8088 connectors) for connecting to external storage arrays or JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Disks). This flexibility allows for a wide range of storage expansion and configuration options, catering to diverse data storage needs. Utilizing a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, the H222 HBA ensures high bandwidth and low latency communication between the server's CPU and the connected storage devices. This is essential for applications that demand fast I/O performance, such as databases, virtualization environments, and large file servers. The adapter is designed for seamless integration with HP ProLiant servers, providing reliable and efficient storage management capabilities.
