The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is a dual-channel 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X SCSI card that delivers fast, reliable performance for enterprise servers and external storage using Ultra320 SCSI technology. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D powers your server with data transfer rates of up to 320 MByte/sec per channel for mainline storage, streaming video and audio, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D card incorporates packet protocol, the first protocol change to SCSI in 20 years, and Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS). Packetized SCSI optimizes bus utilization and minimizes command overhead to bolster performance by transferring commands, data, and status using Dual Transition (DT) data phases instead ofslower asynchronous phases. Packet protocol also allows multiple commands to be transferred in a single connection. QAS reduces the overhead of control release on the SCSI bus from one device to another to help decrease command overhead and increase bus utilization.
