2 Channel, 64-bit, 133MHz, Wide Ultra3 SCSI (160 MB/s bandwidth) per channel PCI X RAID controller card for Compaq Servers with 128MB cache memory and RAID 0, 1+0, 5 support Reliable data protection for Compaq ProLiant servers The Smart Array 5312 (SA-5312) high-performance, dual channel Ultra3, PCI-X array controller provides reliable data protection for Compaq ProLiant™ servers and offers flexibility thanks to an innovative modular design. The SA-5312 controller raises the standard to higher performance levels with several enhancements including enhanced memory architecture and RAID engine. Designed and tested with industry-standard ProLiant Servers for greater reliability, this controller is ideal for the distributed workgroup server or centralized departmental server, and like other Smart Array controllers, the SA-5312 offers complete data compatibility with previous generations’ Smart Array controllers for easy data migration and upgradability. Features Modular, easy-to-upgrade design lets you optimize performance as needed, from 128-MB to 256-MB battery-backed cache. High-performance, Fifth generation architecture offers the new hardware RAID engine, and a new performance memory architecture for increased performance over previous generation controllers. Recovery ROM protects against a ROM failure or corruption. Ultra3 SCSI technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth up to 160 MB/s bandwidth per channel. Dual Channels provide the ability to support up to 28 drives or 2TB. Mix-and-match LVD SCSI compatibility protects your investments and lets you deploy drives as needed. Battery-backed Cache protects cached data in the event of a power outage, server failure or controller failure, and redundant, replaceable batteries take that protection even further. 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X interface boosts bandwidth above 1GB/s burst transfer rate over PCI-X bus. 64-bit memory addressing supports servers with greater than 4 GB of memory.
