IBM 42R4460 – PCI-X DISK CTLR-1.5GB NO IOP

Detailed Description:

The IBM 42R4460 is a PCI-X Disk Controller designed for controlling disk drives within IBM servers and storage solutions. With a bandwidth capacity of 1.5GB, this disk controller facilitates high-speed data transfer between the server’s central processing unit and the disk storage, significantly enhancing the overall system performance. It utilizes the PCI-X interface, which provides higher speed and reliability compared to traditional PCI interfaces, making it an ideal choice for systems that require robust data throughput for applications such as database management, virtualization, and big data analytics. The controller is engineered without an Integrated Operating Processor (IOP), relying on the server’s CPU to manage operations, which allows for a more streamlined and cost-effective design. Suitable for enterprise environments, the IBM 42R4460 disk controller offers a scalable and reliable solution for managing disk storage with efficiency and reliability.
