What is HBA?

HBA stands for Host Bus Adapter. It is a circuit board or integrated circuit adapter installed in a host computer that connects it to a storage device or network. HBAs are commonly used in servers and other high-performance computing systems to provide fast and reliable access to storage resources, such as hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and tape drives. They offload I/O processing from the host CPU, improving overall system performance. Examples of HBAs include Fibre Channel HBAs, SAS HBAs, and iSCSI HBAs.
