LSI SAS3008 9300-8I IT-Mode HBA

This LSI SAS3008 9300-8I host bus adapter operates in IT mode to present disks directly to the operating system. It suits builders running ZFS, FreeNAS or unRAID who need eight internal SATA or SAS ports. The card fits a PCI Express 3.0 slot and includes high and low-profile brackets.

PCI Express 3.0 and SAS3 practical limits

The PCI Express 3.0 interface and SAS3 12Gb/s signalling set the maximum throughput for each attached drive. Eight SFF-8643 connectors are provided, each carrying four lanes. Cables and backplanes must match the SFF-8643 pinout. Drives negotiate down to their own supported link speed.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 9300-8I IT-mode card or a RAID-mode variant?

The 9300-8I IT-mode HBA presents every drive directly to the operating system, which is required for ZFS, FreeNAS and unRAID; a RAID-mode card would hide drives behind a hardware array.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS3 rating mean once the card is installed?

Each of the eight ports can transfer up to 12 Gb/s when connected to SAS3 drives, while SATA devices run at their native 6 Gb/s limit through the same SFF-8643 connectors.
