Host bus adapters for enterprise networks
effortless HBA integration
High-speed bridges — host bus adapters in a class of their own
Our ultra-fast HBAs give you the most universal — and the fastest — links between worlds.
A host bus adapter (HBA) connects a server’s internal PCI bus to external interfaces such as NVMe, SAS, SATA, USB, Ethernet, or Fibre Channel. These plug-in cards deliver microsecond-level latency, making them a highly efficient and cost-effective way to attach peripheral buses to the host.
Host bus adapters of the ARC-1320 series form a low-cost 6 Gbit/s solution with improved reliability and performance at the same time. They are available with a variety of internal and external port configurations and broad driver support, especially for tiered storage architectures. For example, the SAS host adapters allow large-scale expansion of direct-attach storage (DAS) arrays via external ports, connecting up to 128 devices via their SFF-8088 connectors. This makes the 6 Gbps host adapters ideal for large capacity external storage RAID and non-RAID installations.

Through its internal and external port configurations, the ARC-1330 enables a variety of uses: For example, it controls up to 128 end devices via the SFF-8644 port via expander. This makes the host adapter ideal for external RAID storage and No-RAID enclosures alike. Thus, many applications and tiered storage solutions are only possible with it. As usual with Areca, the controllers are backwards compatible with existing and future RAID and expander solutions.
The slim ARC-1330 low-profile host bus adapter from Areca transports SAS data to docked DAS systems in an energy-efficient manner. It is the first choice when it comes to docking SAS components: after all, the HBA handles 12, 6 and 3 Gbit/s as well as SATA data rates of 6 and 3 Gbit/s (each per lane). It works via its PCI Express interface in every computer, workstation and server with Windows, Red Hat, Centos, SUSE, Ubuntu, XenServer, FreeBSD and macOS.
