## Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)

Storage host bus adapters

Source HBAs for direct drive connectivity and storage expansion, checking the exact model's supported protocols, ports and server platform.

- Applications

Software-defined storage, drive passthrough, external enclosures and drive-bay expansion.

- Supply Scope

SAS/SATA HBA · Tri-Mode HBAs supporting the required protocols · HBAs with internal or external ports

- Information for an Inquiry

Complete model or configuration, quantity, equipment location or destination, and required dates. Quote, condition, accessories and warranty are confirmed separately.

## From application to equipment list

Specification examples help define requirements. Support depends on the exact model, platform documentation and supplier information.

### Four Checks Before Purchasing

- 01Distinguish HBA connectivity from hardware RAID requirements

- 02Confirm interfaces and protocols across the complete connection path

- 03Check storage software, driver and firmware requirements

- 04State whether cables, brackets and accessories are included

## Coordinate the product, accessories and delivery

Submit a complete model or project bill of materials so we can check compatibility, main units, accessories, quantities, lead times and destination. Compare supply sources, volume purchasing and phased delivery for the actual requirement.

Source, condition, specifications, tests, warranty and after-sales scope are confirmed separately in the quotation and order. This page describes purchasing scope; actual models, quantities and prices depend on the inquiry result.
