LSI SAS9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 HBA

SKU CH-FW43-H3NXY

A 16-port SAS/SATA host bus adapter delivering 12 Gb/s over PCIe 3.0 with the SAS3008 controller for ZFS and unRAID IT mode

  • 16 ports for high-density storage builds
  • 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA throughput per port
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface for full bandwidth
  • LSI SAS3008 controller in IT mode for ZFS and unRAID

16-Port SAS/SATA HBA

This LSI SAS9300-16i provides 16 internal ports running at 12Gb/s for SAS and SATA drives. The board uses the LSI SAS3008 controller and connects through an eight-lane PCI Express 3.0 slot. It operates in IT mode, presenting disks directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction.

Suited for ZFS and software RAID

The IT firmware makes this card a direct fit for ZFS pools on TrueNAS or UnRAID where the file system manages redundancy. Builders who need hardware RAID offload, external connectors or boot RAID support should select a different model.

Questions about this item

What cables or brackets come with the SAS9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 HBA and what must I buy separately?

The card is supplied as the controller only; SAS or SATA breakout cables and any mounting brackets are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 16-port SAS9300-16i or a lower-port version for my ZFS TrueNAS build?

Choose the 16-port model when you need up to sixteen 12Gb/s SAS or SATA drives connected through a single PCIe 3.0 x8 slot; a lower-port version suits smaller arrays.
