Product Description:

The Smart Array 642 Controller (SA-642) is a 64-bit, 133
MHz PCI-X dual SCSI channel PCI array controller for entry
level hardware-based fault tolerance. Utilizing both SCSI
channels (1 internal and 1 external) of the SA-642 allows
you to configure up to 20 hard drives (6 internal,
14 external) to store up to 2.9TB of storage per PCI
slot. The SA-642 provides high reliability and increased
performance over the Smart Array 532, thus providing
excellent value and lowering the total server ownership
cost. In addition, the SA-642 is data compatible with
all Ultra 320, Wide Ultra3 and Wide Ultra2 drives,
offering an unparalleled degree of investment
protection. Designed and integrated with HP entry-
level and workgroup ProLiant servers, this product

642 Controller provides ProLiant DL and ML servers
with an entry-level hardware RAID protection for OS
and log files, where hardware RAID is needed
at an entry-level price point.
