9400-8i SAS HBA for storage arrays

The 9400-8i SAS3408 adapter connects SAS and SATA drives to a host system through a 12 Gbps interface. It is built for servers and workstations that need direct drive attachment without RAID overhead. The green circuit board identifies the LSI card in a chassis. This host bus adapter suits administrators who manage JBOD enclosures or software-defined storage clusters.

Replaces older 6 Gbps HBAs when throughput matters

Upgrading from a 6 Gbps card makes sense when the workload saturates the older link, such as sequential streaming to large drive counts. The jump is worth it if the backplane and drives support 12 Gbps signalling. Buyers who only run a few SATA SSDs or who need hardware RAID offload will not benefit from this adapter.
