LSI M5110 8-Port 6Gbps SATA Controller

This LSI M5110 card provides eight 6Gbps SATA ports through two internal SFF-8087 connectors. It operates in IT mode with firmware P20, presenting disks directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction. The PCIe interface suits servers or workstations running ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID where the software stack manages redundancy and volume management.

IT Mode HBA for Software-Defined Storage

Builders who need a straightforward host bus adapter for eight SATA drives will find this card matches the requirement. Buyers who require on-board RAID levels should look at a different class of controller. Systems without a free PCIe slot or without SFF-8087 cabling cannot use this card without extra parts.

Highlights

  • 8-port 6Gbps SATA connectivity
  • IT mode firmware P20 for direct drive control
  • Two SFF-8087 internal ports for up to eight drives
  • Compatible with ZFS FreeNAS unRAID storage arrays

Questions about this item

What SATA throughput does the 6Gbps interface cap at in practice?

The card runs at 6Gbps per port, so each connected SATA drive is limited to that link speed.

What brackets are supplied for mounting the card in different chassis heights?

High-profile and low-profile brackets are included so the card fits standard and slim cases.
