LSI Logic has announced commercial availability of the LSI53C1030 Ultra320 SCSI controller chip and the start of a worldwide product sampling and demo program featuring LSI Logic's Ultra320 products
Built on LSI Logic's powerful Fusion-MPT architecture, LSI Logic is showcasing the LSI53C1030 at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan. Ultra320 is the seventh generation of SCSI I/O technology. The standard specifies a revolutionary data transfer rate of 320Mbyte/s, calls for use of packetised protocol, QAS (Quick Arbitrate and Select) and data streaming and SCSI domain validation.

General customer availability on the controller and related host adapter boards are expected before year-end.
LSI Logic ensured a viable interoperable Ultra320 infrastructure by collaborating with leading drive makers IBM, Quantum (now Maxtor) and Seagate in more than six months of testing.
By completing this rigorous development process, customers will have controllers and peripherals that work and will support the SPI-4 (SCSI parallel interface version 4.0) draft standard specification for Ultra320 SCSI.
Users of Ultra320 SCSI benefit from improved signal integrity, reduced protocol overhead and an increase in data transmission rate.
Customers should contact their local LSI Logic sales representative for sampling program details.
The LSI53C1030 PCI-X to dual channel Ultra320 SCSI controller is joined by the LSI53C1020 single channel Ultra320 SCSI controller both of which are ideal for enterprise class servers, RAID in storage networking environments and for high performance workstations.
Single, dual, legacy and low profile host adapter boards for Ultra320 will also be forthcoming.
