ATTO Technology UL5D Ultra320 User Manual
Product Features
• Maximize data throughput
with dual channel connectivity
aggregating performance
across multiple SCSI ports
• Leveraging the latest in SCSI
storage connectivity, the
UL5D delivers up to 640 MB/
sec. data throughput, making
it twice as fast as Ultra160
SCSI.
Smooth Data Streaming
• Maintain accessibility to
mission-critical data by
transparently redirecting data
requests through alternate
channels.
• Alleviate data transfer
bottlenecks and move data
more efficiently while
managing latency with
ATTO’s exclusive ADS™
technology.
One Click Installation
• Save time with factory preset
configuration for plug and play
operation.
• Simplify installation,
management and monitoring
with a multi-platform
Configuration Utility featuring
an intuitive GUI.
ExpressPCI UL5D
Dual-channel Ultra320
SCSI PCI Express Host Adapter
The ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D, an ATTO Ultra320
SCSI host adapter, offers high-performance
provided by Ultra320 and ATTO-designed
performance enhancing technologies. The UL5D
SCSI host adapter aids users dealing with the
reality of today’s data-intensive environments,
including video-editing applications requiring
support for multiple streams of 10-bit highdefinition video.
Additionally, the ExpressPCI UL5D offers support
for the next generation of PCI bus technology with
a 4-lane PCI Express (PCIe) interconnect. The
high-bandwidth provided by a PCI Express
interconnect ensures the UL5D can operate at
speeds up to 640 MB/sec. The combination of
Ultra320 SCSI and PCI Express makes the UL5D
ideal for high-end workstations running highvolume, mission critical applications such as
messaging and databases.
ATTO host adapters offer ATTO’s exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS
the ExpressPCI UL5D is no exception. By
effectively managing latency and allowing for fast
and efficient data movement, utilization of the CPU
is reduced, freeing it up to perform other mission
critical tasks.
The ExpressPCI UL5D is the industry’s first choice
for high-speed SCSI host adapters. By offering
support for Ultra320 SCSI and PCI Express, in
addition to ATTO-designed technologies such as
ADS, the ExpressPCI UL5D offers both the
performance and feature set necessary for dataintensive applications.
