PCIe HBA

BR824100 — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 07:08:33 GMT

Does anyone know if HP have or will be bringing out an HBA with a PCI Express interface. I have an ML370 G4 but have no spare PCI-X slots. I see emulex have a model out at the moment:

So I assume this would work if HP aren't bringing one out their own rebadged one specifically?

Underground info I got was the SmartArray Controller line will get a PCIe before any other (other than NIC) released card.

Thanks for your help I've taken out my PCI-X dual port NIC and ordered two PCIe NIC's and a PCI-X FC instead.
