When doing this planning, keep in mind what might change and what might
not. U160 is now considered older technology. Most anything you purchase
in that range will be surplus or used. Of course, if you have no time to
shop, you can always find some place to purchase new at full price, but I
assume you are not planning on doing this.

The model is not all that important. What matters most is that the
available connectors meet your needs. If you are running a rack mount
system, form factor might matter. You might need an LP HBA.

The 64-bit connector is longer than the 32-bit connectors you are used to.
