IBM 5806 – PCI X DDR Ultra320 SCSI Adpt

Detailed Description:

The IBM 5806 model is a specialized adapter that facilitates high-speed data transfer and connectivity, making it a pivotal component for enterprise computing environments that rely on SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) technology. Boasting a PCI-X Dual Data Rate (DDR) interface, this Ultra320 SCSI adapter is designed to maximize the performance of SCSI-connected devices such as hard drives and tape drives, supporting transfer speeds of up to 320 MB/s. This increase in data transfer rate is essential for applications requiring high bandwidth and swift access to storage, such as database management systems, large-scale transaction processing, and complex scientific computations. The adapter’s backward compatibility ensures a broad spectrum of SCSI devices can be connected, providing flexibility and longevity to existing hardware setups. Additionally, the incorporation of PCI-X DDR technology enhances the data path bandwidth, offering an improved throughput over traditional PCI interfaces, thus reducing bottlenecks and improving overall system performance. The IBM 5806 is engineered for reliability and durability, with IBM’s rigorous testing ensuring stability in demanding operations, making it an ideal choice for businesses aiming to maximize their infrastructure’s efficiency and longevity.
