- 16 external 6 Gb/s SAS+SATA ports expand storage capacity
- PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface delivers high throughput
- Low-profile form factor fits dense server chassis
- LSI Logic 9206-16e HBA supports mixed drive deployments
- Controller type Serial ATA 600 enables 6 Gb/s SATA speeds
Sixteen-port external SAS/SATA HBA
The LSI Logic 9206-16e provides sixteen external 6 Gb/s ports for SAS and SATA drives. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and is intended for servers or workstations that need large-scale external storage expansion.
Low-profile plugin card
The card uses a low-profile form factor that fits restricted chassis heights. Four external mini-SAS ports carry the sixteen lanes, so each cable handles four drives. This layout suits direct-attached JBOD enclosures or tape libraries without internal cabling.
Passive cooling suited to host airflow
The board has no onboard fan and relies on system airflow for thermal management. Typical power draw is modest for a PCIe 3.0 x8 controller, keeping noise dependent only on the host fans. No auxiliary power connector is required.

Questions about this item
Does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface limit the 16 external ports to 6 Gb/s each?
The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface provides enough bandwidth for all 16 ports to run at 6 Gb/s simultaneously.
Will the low-profile bracket fit a standard 2U server chassis?
The card ships in a low-profile form factor suitable for 2U and similar slim server chassis.
Is any driver installation required before the operating system sees the drives?
Most modern operating systems include the necessary driver; the card is recognised during POST once seated in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
