64-Bit PCI - Wide/Ultra160 SCSI
Hardware RAID Controller
●RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 10 or Cluster Support
depending on controller model
●Hot Plug, Auto Hot Plug with SAF-TE/SES Support

The Advantage of Ultra160 SCSI
●maximum synchronous data transfer rates up to
160 MB/sec per channel (LVDS)
●data integrity validation to increase data reliability
●SCSI bus tests to guarantee stable data transfer
Versatile Connectivity and Networking Capabilities
●2, 4 or 6 Wide/Ultra160 SCSI channels with active,
software-switchable multi-mode termination
●either SE (Single Ended) or LVDS (Low Voltage
Differential Signalling) operation
●up to 15 devices per channel
●cable length up to 12 meters (LVDS) per channel
●2 external VHD connectors
Efficient Hardware
●runs in 64-Bit slots and fully backward compatible to
32-Bit slots
●hardware XOR engine for optimized RAID 4/5
operations
●backwards compatible to Wide/Ultra SCSI devices
