A Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
A Host Bus Adapter is a type of hardware device that connects a computer or server to a storage device, such as a hard drive or tape drive. The HBA acts as an interface between the server and the storage device, providing a pathway for data to be transferred between the two. Host Bus Adapters are used in many different types of servers and storage devices, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SAS, and SATA.
Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed networking technology that is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs). FC provides a fast and reliable way to connect servers to storage devices, allowing for high-speed data transfer and improved performance. Fibre Channel uses optical fiber cables to connect devices, providing speeds of up to 16Gbps.
