HP P3475-69004 NetRAID-2M Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI 128MB Cache

Product Description

The HP P3475-69004 NetRAID-2M is a high-performance, dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID controller designed to enhance the storage capabilities of enterprise servers. It supports the Ultra3 SCSI interface, also known as Ultra160 SCSI, providing a robust data transfer rate of up to 160 MB/s per channel. The dual-channel architecture allows for simultaneous connections to multiple SCSI devices or buses, increasing throughput and flexibility in storage configurations. Equipped with 128MB of cache memory, this controller significantly accelerates RAID operations. The cache acts as a buffer for read and write requests, reducing latency and improving the overall performance of the storage subsystem. It supports a wide range of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, offering administrators the flexibility to implement solutions that balance performance, data redundancy, and fault tolerance according to their specific application needs. Utilizing a PCI-X interface, the NetRAID-2M ensures high-speed communication with the server's motherboard. This makes it a powerful component for environments requiring reliable and fast access to data, such as database servers, file servers, and application servers. The dual-channel design and comprehensive RAID support make the P3475-69004 a versatile and capable RAID controller for demanding SCSI storage environments.
