  • PCI Express host bus adapter offloads storage traffic from the CPU
  • 6 Gb/s link speed per port supports high-throughput arrays
  • New LSI 9200-series controller ships in original packaging

16-port SAS HBA for dense storage arrays

The LSI SAS9200-16E provides sixteen external ports that operate at 6 Gb/s each, supporting both SATA and SAS drives through a single PCI Express slot. It is built for servers and workstations that must attach multiple JBOD enclosures or direct-attached disk shelves without using a RAID controller. The board suits administrators who prefer host-based storage software or ZFS pools over hardware RAID. Buyers who need internal-only connectivity or fewer than sixteen lanes should look at alternative models.

Sustained throughput across all lanes

Each of the 16 lanes maintains 6 Gb/s during continuous read and write workloads, so aggregate bandwidth scales linearly with the number of active drives. The controller offloads protocol handling to the host CPU, avoiding the bottlenecks that appear on RAID-on-chip designs under heavy parallel I/O. Firmware updates are available from the vendor to address compatibility with newer drive firmware revisions. Environments that require on-board cache protection or battery-backed write-back will not find those features here.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 16-port SAS9200-16E generate when running all day?

The card uses a PCI Express interface and supports 6Gb/s SATA and SAS links, so power draw scales with the number of active drives rather than a fixed thermal figure.

What cables or backplane connectors must I already have to use the 16 external ports?

Each of the 16 ports uses a standard SATA or SAS connector, so you need matching SATA or SAS cables and a compatible drive backplane or enclosure.
