The ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D SCSI Host Adapter combines four lane PCI Express technology and Ultra320 speeds for high-performance environments and applications such as high- definition video, special effects rendering and non-linear editing. PCI Express is a low-cost, highly scalable serial technology that delivers added performance by increasing the I/O capacity while eliminating bus contention. This allows for blistering fast throughput without the bottlenecks. The ExpressPCI UL5D incorporates ATTO's exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) Technology which moves large blocks of data faster and more efficiently on the PCI bus than any other host adapter on the market.

"The UL5D host adapter will ensure the throughput required for handling massive media files without bottlenecks. ATTO Technology will continue to set the standard for high performance SCSI adapters and will continue to deliver industry-leading Macintosh solutions that meet our customers' performance expectations and aggressive time-to-market requirements," states Ed Tierney, director of marketing for ATTO.

The ATTO UL5D increases reliability and efficiency and leads to increased productivity and the ability to move huge data sets in environments such as high-end video that need to take advantage of the superior bandwidth of PCIe. Moving data at express speeds without bottlenecks is ensured with the ATTO UL5D ExpressPCI Host Adapter.
