SKU CH-MAXN-1H45H

Eight-port SAS/SATA host bus adapter with 12 Gb/s transfer and IT mode firmware

  • IT Mode simplifies storage management with direct drive access
  • 12Gbps SAS/SATA bandwidth supports high-throughput workloads
  • Eight internal ports connect multiple drives simultaneously
  • LSI SAS3008 controller delivers reliable host bus adapter performance

Eight-port HBA for storage arrays

This LSI 9300-8I host bus adapter adds eight SATA or SAS ports through a single PCIe slot. The onboard SAS3008 controller runs in IT mode so drives are presented directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction. It suits builders assembling ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID servers who need raw device access.

Low-profile and full-height brackets included

Both bracket heights ship in the box so the card fits standard and low-profile chassis without extra parts. Installation is a straight PCIe insertion and cable connection; the only common issue is forgetting to flash the firmware to IT mode if the card arrives in IR mode.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 9300-8I is running in IT mode after installation?

The card presents each attached drive directly to the operating system without a RAID layer; ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID will list every physical disk individually in their storage pools.

Which brackets are included and what must I source separately?

Both a full-height and a low-profile bracket are supplied; you only need to obtain SAS or SATA cables that match your drive backplane or drive connectors.
