PCI-X DDR dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter (FC 0648, 1913, 5737, 5776)(CCIN 571B)

The PCI-X DDR dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter is a high-performance SCSI adapter for PCI-X and PCI systems. The adapter provides RAID 0,10,5,6 capability, 90 MB of write cache, and can address up to 30 16-bit SCSI physical disk drives on two independent SCSI buses. The adapter uses and supports low voltage differential (LVD) drivers and receivers only. Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI devices or backplane attachments) or external, but not both. Internally attached Ultra320 devices run at a data rate of up to 320 MBps on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.
