LSI 9201-16e 16-lane SAS HBA

The LSI 9201-16e is a 16-lane host bus adapter built around the SAS2116 controller. It connects to the host through a PCIe 2.0 interface and runs IT mode firmware for direct drive access. Four external Mini-SAS SFF8088 connectors provide 6Gbps SAS and SATA links for external enclosures.

Suited for ZFS and software RAID builds

This card suits builders running ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID who need many external drive lanes without a hardware RAID layer. It does not suit systems that require internal drive connectors, RAID offload, or a newer PCIe generation for higher throughput.

Highlights

  • 16-lane SAS connectivity for high-density storage
