  • HPE SN1610Q controller provides reliable Fibre Channel connectivity

32Gb Single-Port FC Adapter

The HPE SN1610Q is a Fibre Channel host bus adapter that provides one 32Gb port over a PCIe 4.0 connection. It installs in a server to link the host directly to a storage area network. The R2E08A model delivers 32 gigabit throughput for block-level data transfer.

High-Throughput SAN Connectivity

This adapter suits environments that need a single 32Gb Fibre Channel link from a PCIe 4.0 slot. Builders who require multiple ports, a different bus interface or lower-speed 16Gb or 8Gb Fibre Channel should consider other options. Buyers without Fibre Channel infrastructure will not be able to use this card.
