Green PCB SAS HBA card with two Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 external ports

LSI

LSI 9300-8e SAS 8Port 12Gb/s PCIe 3.0 HBA network card

SKU CH-TPR1-BDX4Z

Eight-port external SAS 12 Gb/s HBA with two Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 connectors on a PCIe 3.0 x8 lane

  • Eight external SAS ports for high-density storage
  • 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 bandwidth per port
  • LSISAS3008 controller with Fusion MPT 2.5
  • Two Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 connectors for cabling
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface for throughput

LSI 9300-8e 12Gb/s SAS HBA

The LSI 9300-8e is a new 12Gb/s SAS 3.0 host bus adapter built on the LSISAS3008 Fusion MPT 2.5 controller. It installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and provides eight external ports through two Mini SAS HD SFF8644 connectors.

Suits servers needing eight external 12Gb/s lanes

This card fits administrators connecting JBODs or tape libraries that use Mini SAS HD cabling. It does not serve systems that only offer PCIe 2.0 slots or builds requiring internal drive connectors.

Dual x4 wide ports deliver 4800 MB/s each

The two SFF8644 connectors each present a x4 wide port running at 12Gb/s SAS, yielding 4800 MB/s of half-duplex bandwidth per wide port. This single throughput figure determines whether the card matches the external backplane speed you are targeting.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width and version does the LSI 9300-8e HBA require?

The card installs in an x8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot and presents an external Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 interface for up to eight 12 Gb/s SAS ports.

Which step is often missed when installing the 9300-8e in a server?

Many builders forget to connect the two SFF-8644 cables to the HBA's external ports before powering on, leaving the eight 12 Gb/s SAS links inactive.

When should the firmware on the LSISAS3008 Fusion MPT 2.5 controller be updated?

Update the firmware when adding newer SAS 3.0 drives or expanding to a full eight-port configuration to maintain 4800 MB/s half-duplex bandwidth per x4 wide port.
