Increase the communication speeds between your SAN devices with this Celerity FC-161P Single-Channel 16 Gb/s Gen 6 Fibre Channel PCIe 3.0 Host Bus Adapter with SFP+ from ATTO Technology. This HBA board provides your PCIe 3.0 x8-compatible device with one SFP+ for up to 1600 MB/s of total bandwidth. Utilizing ATTO's exclusive Advanced Data Streaming technology, latency is managed for consistent data transfer performance for high-bandwidth applications. If your application requires a specific performance range, you can use ATTO's ConfigTool to control, manage, and monitor the HBA's settings.

1-Channel 16 Gb/s Gen 6 Fibre with SFP+    PCIe 3.0 x8 Host Connection    Up to 3200 MB/s per Port in Full-Duplex    1 x 16 Gb/s LC SFP+ Transceivers    Works with 8 Gb/s & 4 Gb/s Fibre Devices    Supports NPIV & Virtual Fabric    Latency Management with ADS Technology    Configure & Manage HBA with ConfigTool    For Windows, VMware, FreeBSD & More    High- & Low-Profile Brackets Included

Bus Mastering eliminates the need for communicating with the host CPU of your device by transferring data directly between the HBA and the system memory. Doing this relieves the CPU from the burden of managing protocol activities and increases system bandwidth for other applications.
Tagged Command Queuing allows for multiple I/O commands to be processed in any order, improving overall performance of read and write requests to hard drives.
Disconnect/Reconnect is a feature that increases bus performance by eliminating wait times between the HBA and other devices. This can enable dynamic sharing of the bus bandwidth in sophisticated environments.
Advanced algorithms are implemented to provide optimized performance for workgroup applications such as digital content creation, rich media, prepress, and databases.
