HPE StoreFabric SN1100E 16Gb dual port HBA
The HPE StoreFabric SN1100E is a 16Gb dual port Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for servers that need high bandwidth connectivity to storage networks. It supports server virtualisation and consolidation by providing rapid access to critical data for I/O intensive workloads such as backup, database transactions and rich media applications.
Suited for virtualised server environments needing
This adapter fits environments with greater virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, enabling more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and port while reducing cabling. It is not for systems that lack a compatible PCIe slot, builders who need a single port adapter, or buyers who require a different interface protocol.
16Gb Fibre Channel speed with backward compatibility
The adapter delivers 16Gb Fibre Channel performance and is backward compatible with 8 and 4Gb storage networks, protecting existing infrastructure investments. This speed rating is the key specification that determines whether the card matches the bandwidth demands of the target storage fabric.

Questions about this item
What throughput limit appears first when the 16Gb dual-port adapter runs sustained I/O?
The adapter delivers up to 16Gb per port, so the Fibre Channel link speed is the first ceiling under continuous load.
How much heat or noise does the StoreFabric SN1100E add when it runs all day in a server?
The low-profile card has no onboard fan and draws minimal power, adding negligible heat and no audible noise to the chassis airflow.
Which slot type must the server already provide for this C8R39A adapter to install and operate?
An available PCI Express x8 slot is required for the dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter to function.
