42R8736 - IBM Dual-Channel PCI-X DDR Ultra-320 SCSI Adapter

Description

The IBM 42R8736 is an advanced dual-port adapter designed to provide high-performance and high-availability connectivity for SCSI storage devices within IBM server environments. It leverages the Ultra-320 SCSI standard, capable of delivering up to 320 Megabytes per second (MB/s) of data transfer speed per channel. The inclusion of two ports allows for configurations that can enhance performance through load balancing or provide redundancy for critical data storage. Utilizing the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, this adapter ensures a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput. The 'DDR' designation likely refers to Double Data Rate signaling, further optimizing the efficiency of data transfers over the PCIe bus. This makes the 42R8736 suitable for the most demanding enterprise applications. This adapter is engineered for reliability and performance, making it an ideal choice for mission-critical systems that require fast and dependable access to large amounts of data. Its dual-port capability is particularly beneficial in clustered environments or for direct-attached storage arrays where high availability is a key requirement.
