Overview
The HP StorageWorks U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter is a dual channel PCI-Express (PCI-e) SCSI Ultra320 HBA that enables HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries to connect to HP ProLiant servers. This HBA is ideal for customers who require more than one SCSI port to connect an HP MSL Tape Library to an HP ProLiant server. With a PCI-e interface and low profile form factor, the HP U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter matches the latest technology available in today’s ProLiant servers and is ideal for connecting MSL Tape Libraries to ProLiant servers.

Equipped with the latest PCI-e technology found in the latest generation of HP ProLiant servers, the HP U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter PCI-Express interface provides faster throughput versus PCI-X. In addition, some density-optimized ProLiant server models ship standard with low profile slots. The U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter comes equipped with a low profile bracket for low profile slots as well as the standard bracket for full size slots. HP MSL Tape Library customers can be confident that the HP U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter is the right SCSI HBA for completing an HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution.

Features and Benefits
  • Simplicity: One Host Bus Adapter for easy connect - Customers who need two SCSI ports to connect their HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Library to their HP ProLiant servers can now buy one HP StorageWorks U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter instead of purchasing multiple single channels host bus adapters.

  • Agility: Increased throughput with PCI-Express technology compared to PCI-X technology - The HP StorageWorks U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter PCI-Express interface has faster throughput when compared to SCSI HBAs utilizing PCI-X technology.

  • Value: Backward compatibility for lower cost of ownership - The HP StorageWorks U320e SCSI Host Bus Adapter is an Ultra320 SCSI HBA which offers backward compatibility to Ultra3 SCSI and Ultra2 SCSI tape libraries.
