Low-Profile 8-Port SAS/SATA HBA
The Microsemi 1100-8i is a low-profile, MD2 host bus adapter that provides eight internal 12 Gbps SAS and SATA connections through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD ports. It targets server builders and storage administrators who need to attach multiple hard drives or SSDs to a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot.
Two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD connectors
The card exposes exactly two SFF-8643 internal connectors, each carrying four lanes, so the eight-port limit is fixed by the physical ports on the bracket. If a chassis or backplane requires more than eight internal SAS or SATA devices, this adapter cannot meet that requirement.
Enterprise-grade sustained I/O
Built on the PM8222 SmartIOC 2100 controller, the HBA 1100 is designed for continuous heavy workloads rather than brief bursts. Microsemi states it delivers over 40 percent power savings compared to earlier designs while maintaining stable throughput for software-defined storage, SMR hard drives and modern SSDs under prolonged load.

Questions about this item
What does the 12 Gbps transfer rate mean when the card is installed in a server?
Each of the eight internal SAS lanes can move data at up to 12 Gbps, giving high throughput for SAS or SATA HDDs and SSDs connected through the two SFF-8643 ports.
Which host interface does the 1100-8i use and what does it limit?
The adapter plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, which sets the maximum host bandwidth available to the controller.
What physical space and brackets are required to mount the 2293200-R?
The low-profile MD2 card measures 2.54 inches by 6.60 inches and ships with an additional low-profile vented bracket for installation in slim chassis.
