Qlogic PC2110401-09-F PCI Differential SCSI Controller 68 Pin Wide

Description

The Qlogic PC2110401-09-F is a high-performance SCSI controller card designed to interface with the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, a standard in many servers and workstations from the mid-1990s onwards. This card specifically supports Differential SCSI, which offers advantages in terms of signal integrity and cable length compared to single-ended SCSI, making it suitable for more demanding or extended configurations. The controller is equipped with a 68-pin Wide SCSI connector. The 'Wide' designation indicates a 16-bit data path, doubling the potential data transfer rate compared to narrow (8-bit) SCSI interfaces. This combination of PCI bus, differential signaling, and wide data path allows for significantly faster and more reliable communication with high-performance SCSI devices such as hard drives, RAID arrays, and tape autoloaders. Qlogic is renowned for its high-quality storage networking solutions, and this controller is no exception. It would have been used in environments requiring robust and fast storage connectivity, such as file servers, database servers, or workstations handling large datasets. Proper driver installation for the specific operating system and PCI bus configuration would be necessary for its operation.
