IBM 09N4212 1-Port Ultra160 SCSI 32-Bit RAID Controller Card

Product Description

The IBM 09N4212 is a specialized RAID controller card designed to enhance the storage capabilities of IBM servers. Featuring an Ultra160 SCSI interface, it supports data transfer rates of up to 160 MB/s, providing a solid foundation for reliable data access. This controller is equipped with on-board RAID processing, which offloads the computational burden of RAID operations from the server's main processor, thereby improving overall system performance and responsiveness. This particular model offers one internal SCSI port, making it suitable for internal drive configurations within compatible IBM server chassis. It supports essential RAID levels, including RAID 0 (striping for performance), RAID 1 (mirroring for redundancy), and RAID 10 (striped mirrors for both performance and redundancy). This selection of RAID levels allows for flexible configuration based on the specific needs for data protection and speed. As a 32-bit PCI card, the IBM 09N4212 is designed for integration into servers equipped with the appropriate PCI slots. It serves as a cost-effective solution for adding RAID functionality to systems that require enhanced data availability and performance for their SCSI storage devices. Its focus on IBM server compatibility ensures seamless integration and reliable operation within the intended environment.
