AHA-3944UW-OF

The Adaptec AHA-3940UW/OF and AHA-3944UW/OF host adapters deliver superior I/O performance for UltraSPARC systems with PCI. Combining multiple channels and UltraSCSI speed, the AHA-3940UW/OF and AHA-3944UW/OF adapters move data faster to meet the growing demands of workstationsand servers and leading-edge applications. In fact, these host adapters transfer data at up to 80 MByte/sec--twice as fast as the highest-performing single-channel UltraSCSI host adapter. With two channels, they accommodate twice as many SCSI peripherals--up to 30 from a single PCI slot.
