LSI SAS9207-8E 8-Port SAS/SATA RAID Controller PCIe 3.0 x8

SKU CH-SQPB-DD45M

Eight-port SAS and SATA RAID controller with two external mini-SAS connectors on a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface

  • 8 external ports via two SFF-8088 connectors
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for 6 Gb/s throughput
  • Hardware RAID support for SAS and SATA drives
  • Low-profile bracket fits compact server chassis

8-Port External SAS/SATA Controller

The LSI SAS9207-8E provides eight external SAS and SATA ports through two SFF-8088 Mini-SAS connectors. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and supports transfer rates up to 6 Gb/s per port. The low-profile bracket fits compact server chassis and workstations. Windows, Linux and Solaris drivers are available.

External Connectivity for Drive Enclosures

Two external Mini-SAS ports let you attach JBOD enclosures or disk shelves without opening the host chassis. The controller handles both SAS and SATA drives on the same cables. RAID levels are managed by the host operating system or software stack. Buyers needing internal drive connections or onboard RAID processing should consider a different model.

Questions about this item

How often should the external mini-SAS cables connected to the SFF-8088 ports be inspected or replaced?

Inspect cables whenever the chassis is opened or after any vibration event; replace them if the latch tabs are cracked or if signal errors appear in the controller logs.

Which bandwidth ceiling will be reached first when all eight ports run sustained transfers?

The PCIe 3.0 x8 host link caps aggregate throughput, so it becomes the bottleneck before the individual 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA links saturate.
