During initial tests of the iSCSI adapter card, throughput on a SAN setup by Intel was measured at 300M to 700M bit/sec., using only 3% to 5% of server processor capacity.

No SCSI card is needed in the initiator, however; there is only a means to effectively gain access to the network and “decode” the iSCSI traffic into SCSI commands.
