Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

The Emulex 16 Gb (Generation 6) Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) provide high-speed storage connectivity for Lenovo System x servers in virtualized environments, data backup workflows, and mission-critical applications. These 16 Gb Gen 6 FC HBAs are built to support modern networked storage architectures that combine low-latency solid state drives for caching and persistent storage with traditional hard disk drive arrays.

Advantages

Emulex 16 Gb Gen 6 FC HBAs include ExpressLane™ traffic prioritization to maintain application performance on flash storage arrays under congested network conditions. They also integrate with Emulex OneCommand® Manager to support Brocade ClearLink™ diagnostics, facilitating reliable management and troubleshooting when attached to Brocade Gen 5 FC SAN fabrics.

Key specifications

  • Interface: Fibre Channel (FC)
  • Generation: Gen 6 (16 Gb)
  • Primary use: Storage connectivity for servers, virtualization, backups, mission-critical apps
  • Traffic prioritization: ExpressLane™
  • Diagnostics support: Brocade ClearLink™ via Emulex OneCommand® Manager
  • Compatibility note: Designed for Lenovo System x servers and Brocade Gen 5 FC SAN fabrics

How to use

Install the Emulex 16 Gb Gen 6 FC HBA into an appropriate PCIe slot on the Lenovo System x server according to the server and HBA installation guides. Connect the fibre channel ports to the SAN fabric and verify zoning and fabric configuration. Use Emulex OneCommand® Manager for firmware updates, configuration, and to enable ClearLink™ diagnostics when connected to Brocade switches. Validate link speed and health after installation and monitor performance in production to ensure expected throughput to flash and disk arrays.

Recommendations

Ensure firmware and drivers are up to date and follow Lenovo and Emulex installation documentation. When deploying with Brocade Gen 5 fabrics, enable ClearLink™ diagnostics through OneCommand® Manager to simplify troubleshooting. For optimal performance with flash arrays, configure network prioritization and validate SAN zoning to prevent contention.
