Description
Product Overview of the Host Bus Adapter
A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a device that allows a computer system to communicate with storage devices. The HP 660086-001 H222 PCI-E 3.0 X8 SAS Host Bus Adapter is one such device that is used for connecting SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) storage devices to servers or workstations. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of the HP 660086-001 H222 HBA.
Features of HP 660086-001 H222 HBA
- PCIe 3.0 Interface The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA features a PCIe 3.0 interface. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that is used to connect various hardware devices to a computer’s motherboard. PCIe 3.0 is the latest version of the PCIe interface and offers faster data transfer rates compared to previous versions.
- SAS Connectivity The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA supports SAS connectivity. SAS is a point-to-point serial protocol used for connecting storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), to a computer system. SAS offers high data transfer rates and provides better performance compared to the older SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) protocol.
- RAID Support The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks). RAID is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drives into a single logical unit for the purpose of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.
- Compatibility The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi.
- Easy Installation The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA is easy to install and requires no additional software or drivers. Simply plug it into an available PCIe slot on your server or workstation, and you’re ready to go.
Specifications of HP 660086-001 H222 HBA
- Form Factor The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA has a low-profile form factor, which makes it suitable for use in servers or workstations with limited space.
- Interface The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, which provides high bandwidth and low latency for data transfer.
- Data Transfer Rates The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA supports data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps per port, which is the maximum speed supported by the SAS protocol.
- RAID Levels The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, and 50. These RAID levels provide various combinations of data redundancy and performance improvement.
- Connectors The HP 660086-001 H222 HBA has two internal mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors, which support up to eight SAS or SATA (Serial ATA) drives.
In Summary, the HP 660086-001 H222 PCI-E 3.0 X8 SAS Host Bus Adapter is an excellent choice for connecting SAS storage devices to servers or workstations. It features a PCIe 3.0 interface, SAS connectivity, RAID support, and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems. It is easy to install and requires no additional software or drivers. Its low-profile form factor makes it suitable for use in servers or workstations with limited space. With data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps per port and support for various RAID levels, the HP 660086
