16 Internal Port 12Gb/s SAS/SATA to PCIe 3.0 Host Bus Adapter

The ExpressSAS H120F 16-Port Internal 12 Gb/s SAS to PCIe 3.0 HBA from ATTO Technology offers fast connections to direct-attached SAS or SATA storage. The cards four internal 4-port SFF 8643 mini-SAS HD connectors support up to sixteen SAS links. With a wide variety of port configurations and built-in RAID 0, 1 and 10, these adapters offer flexibility for every range of application. The speed of the 12 Gb/s SAS interface, coupled with a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, delivers a dense and efficient connection to all types of storage, from rack-mounted servers and workstations in data center, data warehousing, VOD, and other high-availability, high-performance applications.

Industry Proven Technology
The ExpressSAS 12 Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) provides data protection to direct attached SAS and SATA storage. With a wide variety of port configurations and built-in RAID 0, 1, and 10, this adapters offer flexibility for every range of application

Flexible Connectivity Solutions
It has sixteen available SAS links available over four internal 4-port SFF 8643 mini-SAS HD connectors to support a dense and efficient connection to storage from rackmounted servers and workstations in datacenter, data warehousing, VOD, and other high availability, high performance applications

Performance
This adapter combines 12 Gb/s SAS speeds and PCIe 3.0 x8 with hardware and software elements to manage latency in real-time environments. The exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) technology maximizes CPU processes to deliver smooth and reliable data transfers, and consistent performance close attention to detail in board design and signal integrity help minimize transmission errors and data corruption

Advanced Management Tools
ATTO's easy-to-use ConfigTool features an intuitive GUI that simplifies the installation, management and monitoring of the host bus adapter. With advanced troubleshooting and performance tuning capabilities, the adapter provides you with sophisticated diagnostics and the flexibility to control settings for specific applications

The ATTO Technology offers a broad array of management and diagnostic capabilities. This adapter is able to help isolate cable and connector failures (and intermittent problems) through independent control of each port, as well as discovery and cable management of data passed through the mini-SAS HD connectors

Advanced Data Streaming (ADS)
Latency Management technology that controls the acceleration of data transfers to move large amounts of data, faster and more efficiently
