I know what it is for (SAN) but I've never worked with fiberchannel. Can I get SATA ports out of this though some adapter? Like http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-10-Emulex-250-076-900D-SATA-TO-FIBRE-CHANNEL-...
FC infrastucture is very expensive, it would be insane to use it to run a SATA adapter so you could use a cheap drive.
btw: what is wrong with HP? The pictures are so tiny that they're virtually useless
see https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/99/361426-B21... useless thumbnail pic!
obsolete products, old catalog info.
anyways, I looked up that ISP2312 QLogic chip on the FC HBA, its is PCI-X, not PCI-E, and again, its on a proprietary mezzenaine form factor.
