Hewlett-Packard 416096-B21 Host Bus Adapter SC44GE

Hewlett-Packard 416096-B21 SC44GE is a host bus adapter (HBA) that provides storage I/O connectivity for a server. Identified by the part number 416096-B21 and the model designation SC44GE, it is an HP-branded expansion card designed to sit in a server system to facilitate the host's connection to storage devices. As an HBA, the card functions as the bridge between the server's internal bus and external storage, enabling the host to communicate with attached drives or storage subsystems without routing through the primary system controller. The product name and part number indicate exact identification for procurement, inventory management, and service compatibility within HP environments. This description presents the card in terms of its role as a dedicated storage interface component rather than a general-purpose expansion card, helping buyers verify they are selecting the correct HP part 416096-B21 for their SC44GE-based storage expansion needs.
