LSI 9211-8i SAS 2008 Controller Card

The LSI 9211-8i is a host bus adapter built around the SAS 2008 controller. It provides eight internal lanes through two Mini SAS SFF-8087 connectors. The card runs in IT mode firmware for direct drive access and connects via a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot at 6 Gbps per port.

Best for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID builds

This suits builders adding SATA or SAS drives to a NAS running ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID. It is not for systems that lack a PCIe 2.0 slot, need external ports, or require on-board RAID processing.
