High-Performance Ultra Wide SCSI For Windows NT
Workstations and Entry-Level Servers
SCSI, The Right Choice For
Windows NT Workstations
SCSI has always been the interface of choice for Windows NT
servers.
Now, as Windows NT moves to the desktop, SCSI is your best choice 
to keep data moving as fast as possible, to provide the flexibility of
removable disk drives, to connect to the fastest and largest capacity 
hard drives, and to deliver the performance power users want from 
Windows NT on the desktop.
Top Performance, True Multitasking
SCSI delivers the fastest throughput and the best performance. For 
the kind of users who want Windows NT on their desktops, EIDE 
can’t begin to satisfy their need for speed. Check out the chart below.
You’ll see there’s just no comparison. 
What’s more, SCSI hard drives are designed to optimize data 
transfer in multitasking environments. They incorporate advanced 
features such as the highest capacity, largest cache, fastest spin rate,
fastest seek time, tagged queuing. and disconnect /reconnect. In fact,
without SCSI, true multitasking is not possible. But with SCSI, just
think of the possibilities for Windows NT on the desktop.
Proven, Hassle-Free Installation
Anyone who has ever installed an Adaptec SCSI host adapter finds
themselves wishing everything in life was so easy. This is what one 
customer had to say about the speed, simplicity, and reliability of an
Adaptec installation:
“The project was finished so fast, no one believed all the data had
transferred. Upon verification, every fragment of data was there. Having 
installed hundreds (of Adaptec SCSI host adapters), this was no surprise
to me. Adaptec has proven reliable in our office, time after time. When
it comes to SCSI controllers, we only use the best. We only use Adaptec.”
– Alen Harris, Micro Focus PC Technician
Connect With Adaptec For Satisfaction
SCSI not only delivers the robust performance and true multitasking
users want from Windows NT on the desktop, it also enables them 
to connect to the power peripherals they need. CD recordables, high-
performance removables, or any external hard drive can only be added
with SCSI. 
So for everything a user wants and needs from Windows NT on 
the desktop, only Adaptec SCSI delivers complete customer satisfaction.
OVERVIEW
When maximum performance matters, the Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra
Wide host adapter delivers, with twice the connection capacity and
four times the data bandwidth. Plus, it offers true multitasking and
unequaled reliability and compatibility.
KEY BENEFITS
Maximum Transfer Speed. The AHA-2940 Ultra Wide host
adapter bursts data on the SCSI bus at up to 40 Mbytes/second for
the latest SCSI drives and all other SCSI devices. 
Time-Saving Multitasking. The AHA-2940 Ultra Wide host
adapter makes true multitasking possible, enabling the system CPU
to access data on multiple peripheral devices simultaneously to
improve productivity.
Maximum Connectivity. With the AHA-2940 Ultra Wide host
adapter you can simultaneously support as many as 15 SCSI 
devices, both 8-bit and 16-bit, in any combination, for maximum
configuration flexibility. 
Quick And Easy Installation. Simply insert the AHA-2940 
Ultra Wide host adapter in the PCI slot and the system BIOS will
assign resources to it.
*Also known as PCI Ultra Wide SCSI Master.
