Product Description
The Sun 371-3991 is a dedicated internal Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that expands a server's storage capabilities by providing four SAS 3Gb/s ports. This adapter is specifically designed for internal connectivity, allowing system builders and administrators to integrate multiple SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs directly into the server chassis. The PCI Express interface ensures sufficient bandwidth for these internal drives, facilitating efficient data access and transfer. This HBA is a cost-effective solution for increasing storage density and performance within a single system. It supports the SAS protocol, which offers advantages like point-to-point connectivity and the ability to connect both SAS and SATA drives, providing flexibility in drive selection. The 3Gb/s speed per port is adequate for many internal storage configurations, especially for applications that do not require the absolute highest throughput from every drive. Sun Microsystems, known for its robust server and storage solutions, designed this adapter to be reliable and compatible with their server lines, though it can also be used in other systems supporting PCIe. The 371-3991 is an excellent choice for expanding storage capacity in workstations, entry-level servers, or any system where internal direct-attached storage is a primary requirement.
