ExpressPCI FC 3321

Dual-channel 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel Low Profile Host Adapter

The ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3321 host adapter incorporates dual independent channels of 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel performance on a single low-profile Fibre Channel host adapter. With data-transfer rates of up to 400MB/sec. per channel the product is designed to support data-intensive applications while, at the same time, using only one PCI slot, representing a cost-effective and efficient choice for Enterprise applications.
