Eight-port SATA/SAS controller
The Supermicro AOC-S2208L-H8IR adds eight SATA or SAS 6 Gb/s ports through a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 slot. It targets administrators who need to expand internal storage connectivity on a server or workstation board.
RAID levels and throughput headroom
Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported, giving redundancy or performance options for multi-drive arrays. The 6 Gb/s link per port handles mechanical drives and SATA SSDs comfortably; saturation appears only with many simultaneous high-throughput workloads.
Low-profile plug-in card build
The low-profile form factor fits standard server chassis without blocking adjacent slots. Eight internal mini-SAS connectors keep cabling tidy and allow straightforward drive-bay routing in dense enclosures.

Questions about this item
Will the PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface on this controller work in my older PCIe 2.0 server slot?
The card uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface and will operate in a PCIe 2.0 slot at the slower 2.0 speed, which still supports the controller's 6Gb/s SATA/SAS ports.
How can I verify the RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60 arrays are healthy after installing the AOC-S2208L-H8IR?
Use the Supermicro BIOS utility or the operating-system management software to confirm each virtual drive shows an Optimal state and that all eight ports report a 6Gb/s link speed.
Does the box include the Mini-SAS cables needed to connect the eight SATA/SAS ports, or must I buy them separately?
The controller ships as the plug-in card only; Mini-SAS to SATA or SAS breakout cables for the eight 6Gb/s ports are not included and must be purchased separately.
