Astek's A3803-PMC is the first 8 channel SAS adapter in the PMC form factor.
 - 3Gbps per port x 8 ports
- Supports 100+ disks using SAS expanders
- Support SAS and SATA/SATAII drives
- 64-bit, 133MHz PCIX
- On-board Hardware RAID (0,1,1e)
- Windows/Linux/RTOS Support
The Astek A3803-PMC doubles the performance of dual channel Ultra320 SCSI HBAs with aggregate I/O port bandwidth of 2.4GBytes/s and full duplex capability. These adapters are ideal for data centers and leverage the existing SCSI software infrastructure for investment protection and ease of migration. The serial interface allows point-to-point connections offering higher performance, increased aggregate bandwidth, higher availability with dual ported drives, and enhanced reliability compared to parallel SCSI. The A3803-PMC supports 3Gbps and 1.5 Gbps SAS and SATA hard disk drives. With the use of SAS Expanders a single A3803-PMC card can connect to hundreds of target disks and mutliple TerraBytes of storage capacity.
