LSI53C1030

LSI53C1030

The LSI53C1030 is an extremely high performance, intelligent PCI-X to dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller. Its Fusion-MPT™ (message passing technology) based architecture provides the highest-possible performance from the Ultra320 SCSI channels. The LSI53C1030 offers unparalleled flexibility and reliability, and binary compatibility of host software for emerging I/O interfaces.
