LSI SAS 2008 6Gbps HBA RAID Controller Card

The LSI SAS 2008 6Gbps HBA RAID Controller Card adds eight internal SAS and SATA ports through two Mini SAS SFF-8087 connectors. It suits servers or workstations that need to attach up to 256 SAS or SATA drives. The card operates as a host bus adapter or hardware RAID controller.

PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and low-profile bracket

Your motherboard must provide a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot for the x8 lane card. A low-profile bracket is included for slim chassis; verify that your case can accept a half-height card. The board draws power from the slot alone, so no auxiliary power cable is required. Driver media is supplied on CD and is also available for download.

Connects up to 256 drives via two SFF-8087 cables

Two Mini SAS SFF-8087 cables link the controller to backplanes or drive cages, freeing motherboard SATA ports for other devices. Each port supports 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA link rates under SAS 2.0 compliance. The card offloads RAID processing from the CPU, leaving more compute cycles for applications.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the LSI SAS 2008 HBA card and do I need extra cables?

The package includes the HBA card, a driver CD and a low-profile bracket. Two internal Mini SAS SFF-8087 ports are on the card; SAS or SATA breakout cables must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the x8 PCIe 2.0 version or is there another lane option for this controller?

This model uses a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface. No other lane-width variants are offered for the SAS 2008 chip on this card.

What does the 6 Gb/s headline rate mean when the card is installed in a server?

Each attached SAS or SATA drive can run at up to 6 Gb/s. The x8 host link and 256-device support let multiple drives hit that rate simultaneously.
