LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA for Storage Arrays

This internal SAS and SATA host bus adapter uses the LSI SAS2008 controller to deliver eight lanes of 6Gb/s connectivity. It suits builders adding multiple drives to servers or workstations that need direct-attached storage expansion. The card operates in initiator mode for HBA use and supports RAID levels through the integrated firmware.

PCIe 2.0 x8 with Two Mini SAS Ports

The card plugs into a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and presents two SFF-8087 Mini SAS connectors for internal cabling. Both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket are included so the card fits standard and compact chassis alike. A driver disc ships in the box for initial installation on supported platforms.

Check Slot Version and OS Compatibility

Verify your motherboard offers a PCIe 2.0 x8 or larger slot with mechanical clearance for the chosen bracket. Confirm the operating system is among Windows, Linux Red Hat, SUSE Enterprise Server, Solaris or VMware. The controller supports up to 256 SAS and SATA devices, so ensure your drive count and backplane cabling match that limit.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express version and lane count does the LSI SAS 9211-8i use, and what throughput does that limit the card to?

The card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, which limits total bandwidth to the 2.0 specification for all eight 6Gb/s SAS lanes.

Which physical brackets are included so the card fits either a low-profile or full-height chassis?

Both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket are supplied in the box for installation flexibility.

How is the driver installed, and what step do people often miss?

Insert the supplied driver CD, run the installer for your operating system, then flash the firmware if prompted — skipping the firmware update is the common mistake.
