650933-B21 - HP H220 2-Port SAS 6Gb/s PCI Express Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 650933-B21, known as the H220 HBA, is an internal storage connectivity solution designed for HP servers. It provides two internal ports that support both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives, operating at a speed of 6Gb/s per port. This allows for the connection of multiple hard drives or solid-state drives directly within the server chassis, facilitating storage expansion and configuration. The adapter connects to the server's motherboard via a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. This interface provides ample bandwidth for the 6Gb/s SAS/SATA connections, ensuring efficient data transfer between the drives and the system's processor. The H220 is designed as a Host Bus Adapter, meaning it primarily provides direct access to the storage devices without the advanced RAID processing capabilities found in full RAID controllers, making it a cost-effective solution for many storage needs. This HBA is suitable for various server applications requiring reliable internal storage connectivity. It supports a wide range of SAS and SATA drives, offering flexibility for administrators to choose the storage media that best fits their performance and capacity requirements. The 6Gb/s speed is sufficient for many enterprise workloads, providing a solid foundation for data storage and retrieval.
