Dual-Channel with Flexible Connectivity
The LSI21320-R Ultra320 SCSI dual-channel
host adapter is ideal for workstations and
servers needing a high-performance boot
volume and connectivity to legacy devices,
tape backup, or external storage. The
LSI21320-R features two independent Ultra320
SCSI channels allowing a combined maximum
throughput of 640MB/s. With support for up
to 30 devices it offers incredible flexibility in
system configuration. The LSI21320-R supports
all previous generation SCSI devices and is
backward compatible to 32-bit, 33MHz PCI. This
makes the LSI21320-R a great option whether
used to upgrade an existing system or optimize
a new workstation or server.

Exceptional Signal Integrity
The LSI21320-R not only moves data blazingly
fast, it also insures unmatched data reliability and
signal quality. With LSI TolerANT™ technology,
the card improves data integrity in less than
ideal cabling environments. SureLINK domain
validation verifies that all devices are able to
communicate at the negotiated SCSI transfer
rate and optimizes the connection between
the card and each device on the bus. The
net result is exceptional data reliability
optimized performance.

Powered by Fusion-MPT
Based on LSI Fusion-MPT (Message Passing
Technology) architecture, the LSI21320-R
provides outstanding I/O performance while
allowing extremely high host processor ef-
ficiency. Fusion-MPT permits an exceptionally
thin device driver that’s common to all Fusion-
MPT devices used in a given OS.

OS Independent Hardware RAID (0,1)
LSI Integrated RAID provides the reliability and
performance benefits of disk mirroring (RAID
1) and striping (RAID 0). Integrated Mirroring™
(IM) provides data protection for the system boot
volume by simultaneously writing redundant
data across two to six disks. This provides fault
tolerance and safeguards critical information.
Integrated striping yields enhanced performance
by aggregating the bandwidth of up to six
disk drives. Integrated Striping provides
a significant boost in applications where
maximum performance is essential. LSI
Integrated RAID is OS-independent and does
not require the use of special device drivers.
