What is HBAs?

A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a circuit board and/or integrated circuit adapter that provides input/output (I/O) processing and physical connectivity between a host system (server or computer) and a storage or network device. HBAs are commonly used to connect servers to storage area networks (SANs), direct-attached storage (DAS), or other storage devices. They offload I/O processing from the host CPU, improving performance.
