Overview

HP 8 Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter with RAID

 

The HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID provides customers with the flexibility and speed they have come to expect from HP. The HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID is ideal for small RAID and larger non-RAID storage applications. This adapter supports both 3 Gbps SAS and 1.5 Gbps SATA devices as well as HP StorageWorks SAS tape products. It is the basic building block for both RAID and non-RAID SCSI storage solutions, providing up to 2.4GB/s maximum bandwidth, nearly four times the speed of dual channel U320 SCSI adapters. The HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID has been thoroughly tested and integrated into many of the HP ProLiant servers.

Standard Features

Performance Designed to be as flexible as HP servers, HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID provides support for up to 8 SAS or SATA hard drives. The HP adapter delivers exceptional system performance, with eight 3 Gbps SAS ports providing up to 24 Gb/s total storage bandwidth.

HP Server Integration

Fully integrated and tested with most ProLiant servers and management software.


Key Features

  • SAS technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth up to 3 Gbps per physical link.
  • Mix-and-match SAS and SATA hard drives, lets you deploy drive technology as needed to fit your computing environment.
  • 64-bit, PCIX 133-MHz interface provides 1 GB/s maximum bandwidth during burst transfers.
  • Support for HP StorageWorks SAS tape products.

Ports

  • Eight (8) SAS physical links distributed across 2 internal x4 wide connectors
    • Provides the ability to support up to 8 drives or 2.4GB of SAS storage

Performance

HP's High Performance Architecture sets new boundaries for industry performance expectations!

  • 3 Gbps SAS (bandwidth per physical link)
  • 24 Gbps total available bandwidth (8 physical links x 3Gbps)
  • 64-bit, PCIX 133-MHz bus (1 GB/s bandwidth)

NOTE: When using the SC08Ge with SATA Hard Drives, 1.5G SATA Hard Drives are required.
NOTE: Transfer rate: 1.5 Gb/s SATA, 3Gb/s SAS


Capacity

Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID offers:

  • Eight 3 Gbps SAS physical links supporting up to 2 simultaneous x4 Wide SAS Ports
  • Up to 2.4TB of SAS storage per PCI slot

Fault Tolerance

Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced

  • Drive Mirroring (RAID 1): This allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file.
