LSI 9300 8e RAID Controller

The LSI 9300 8e is a new 12Gb/s SAS SATA RAID controller card with eight external ports. It connects up to 1024 non RAID SAS or SATA devices via an external chassis. The card uses a PCIe interface and suits servers or storage arrays needing high bandwidth external connectivity.

External Storage Expansion

This controller suits administrators expanding external JBOD enclosures or direct attached storage using SAS and SATA drives. It supports Windows, Linux, VMware and FreeBSD for broad operating system coverage. It is not for buyers who need internal drive connectors or RAID levels beyond the card's capabilities.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 12 Gb/s SAS links are active after installing the LSI 9300 8e?

Check the controller BIOS or the operating system driver utility; each of the eight ports should report a negotiated 12 Gb/s link speed with the attached SAS or SATA devices.

What comes with the LSI 9300 8e and what must I source separately?

The card itself is included; external mini-SAS HD cables, a compatible PCIe slot, drives and an external chassis or backplane are not supplied.

Which version of the LSI 9300 8e should I choose for a 12 Gb/s external SAS deployment?

The 9300 8e model provides eight external 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA ports, supporting up to 1024 non-RAID devices, and is the appropriate choice for that use case.
