AAA-133SA
The AAA-133 three-channel adapters deliver the equivalent performance of multiple array adapters in a single PCI slot. The multichannel feature of these adapters optimizes performance by allowing slower peripherals, such as CD-ROM and tape drives, to be isolated on a separate, independent channel, saving PCI slots and reducing the need for a separate host adapter.
