HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter |
|
The HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter provides customers with the flexibility and speed they have come to expect from HP. The SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter is ideal for basic RAID (0, 1) and low cost connectivity to tape and HDDs. This adapter supports both 3G SAS and 1.5 G SATA devices. Providing up to 2 Gb/s maximum bandwidth, this HBA provides nearly four times the speed of a dual channel U320 SCSI adapters. The HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter has been thoroughly tested and integrated into many of the HP ProLiant and Integrity servers. The SC44Ge supports both a 1 x4 internal connection and a 1 x4 external connection. |
