Description

The Astek A3806-XMC is the first conduction cooled, 6Gbps capable XMC form-factor Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with 8 lanes of Rear-Transiion I/O, combining the extremes of storage performance, and rugged system design.  Get ready for warp speed in your COTS system design.

The SAS protocol is ideal for Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and Storage Area Networking (SAN) applications, and has the widest range of compatibility in the market with support for native SAS media at 1.5 to 6Gbps, SATA medai from 1.5 to 6Gbps, Solid State Disk (SSD), Optical (CD/DVD) and Tape media. If you need to scale your application, the SAS interface can be extended with SAS expanders SASExpanders to access over 200 target disks from a single controller, and to support high-reliability topologies with multi-path and failover capabilities.
