LSI Logic MegaRAID Elite 1650

The rear offers a connection to the SCSI bus for each bus. Like the Adaptec device, the Elite 1650 from LSI works both in 32 bit, as well as 64 bit, PCI busses. Clock speeds of 33 or 66 MHz are supported, meaning that a maximum transfer rate of 528 MB/s is possible.

The LSI controller's two channels are clearly visible in the picture.
