  • IT Mode P20 firmware enables direct drive control for ZFS and unRAID
  • LSI SAS2308 controller delivers 6Gbps throughput across eight ports
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides high-bandwidth host connectivity
  • Two 3.3 ft Mini SFF-8087 cables included for internal SAS and SATA drives
  • High and low profile brackets supplied for flexible chassis installation

Eight-port SAS/SATA host bus adapter

This LSI 9207-8i card adds eight internal SAS and SATA connections through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. It ships with firmware version 20.00.07.00 in IT mode, presenting drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction. Two Mini SFF-8087 cables measuring 3.3 ft and both high and low-profile brackets are included in the package.

Suits ZFS, FreeNAS and unRAID builders who want

The IT-mode firmware makes this adapter a natural fit for software-defined storage platforms that manage redundancy and checksums in the operating system. Builders who require hardware RAID offload, external port connectivity or a different firmware personality should consider a different controller.

LSI SAS2308 controller running 6 Gbps per port

The onboard SAS2308 chipset delivers 6 Gbps throughput on each of the eight ports, setting the maximum transfer rate for every attached SAS or SATA device. This single specification determines whether the adapter matches the performance envelope of the drives and backplane in your chassis.
