Adaptec AHA-3940UW SCSI Host Adapter

3940

Overview

This card allows you to use devices in parallel increasing speed and decreasing disk contention in demanding applications like database engines or video editing.

Interleaving SCSI devices between the two channels on this card increases reliability and performance. If one channel fails, you can easily move your devices to the remaining channel. For maximum reliability, you should use additional host adapter(s) and RAID hardware as required - Mylex DAC960PD-Ultra RAID controller available.
