Intel L440GX+ Server w/Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI w/80pin ultra2 u160 scsi drives. Will Ultra320s work?

I own an Intel Lancewood L440GX+ Server with an Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI controller using 80pin ultra2 u160 SCSI drives. Will newer Ultra320 SCSI drives work on this server?

Hi at hand, I have attached sector of a question from a scsi forum that may serve answer your question. I will however point out that I would consider buying a better scsi card. Hope this help :) IT@tonicweb.co.uk



For a hard drive (or the controller to step with a concrete drive), do not consider anything lower than Ultra2. Above Ultra2, we have Ultra160 (or a moment ago U160) and U320, which have their verbs rates in MB/s surrounded by their names. Conveniently, adjectives three standards are completely interoperable. Yes, you will only receive the speed of the slowest component, but at least everything works. If you see the occupancy LVD ("Low-Voltage Differential"), that also refers to these three modern SCSI standards.
