SKU CH-99CQ-WS715

Eight-port SAS/SATA host bus adapter with PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, 6 Gbps transfer rate, IT mode firmware, and included low-profile brackets

  • Connect up to eight drives via two SFF-8087 ports
  • 6 Gbps throughput on each SAS or SATA link
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface for high bandwidth
  • IT mode firmware ready for direct drive control
  • Low-profile and full-height brackets included for flexible mounting

8-Port SAS/SATA 6 Gbps HBA

The LSI SAS 9207-8i is an eight-port internal host bus adapter that connects SAS and SATA drives through two miniSAS SFF-8087 connectors. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and runs at up to 6 Gbps per port. The card ships with the latest IT mode firmware and includes both low-profile and full-height brackets.

Best for direct-attached storage arrays

This adapter suits builders who want to attach up to eight SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs directly to a server or workstation. It is not for systems that lack a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, nor for users who need more than eight drive connections from a single card.

IT mode firmware installed

The controller arrives with IT mode firmware already loaded, presenting each drive to the operating system without RAID abstraction. This makes the card the right choice for software-defined storage platforms that manage redundancy in software.

Highlights

  • Connect up to eight drives via two SFF-8087 ports
  • 6 Gbps throughput on each SAS or SATA link
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface for high bandwidth

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot and bracket sizes does the LSI SAS 9207-8i require for installation?

The card fits a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and ships with both low-profile and full-height brackets for either chassis type.

How do I flash the LSI SAS 9207-8i to IT mode, and which step is commonly missed?

The latest IT mode firmware is already installed; the step often missed is setting the BIOS to UEFI boot so the HBA initialises correctly.

Which drives and cables will I need to replace or maintain with the LSI SAS 9207-8i over time?

The controller supports 4k sector SAS and SATA drives via two miniSAS SFF-8087 ports; plan to replace drives as they age and cables if latch tabs break.
