Eight-port 12 Gb/s SAS RAID adapter

The Supermicro AOC-S3008L-L8I adds eight internal SAS ports to a server through a PCI-Express 3.0 slot. It uses the LSI SAS 3008 I/O processor with Fusion-MPT architecture to manage storage traffic. The card supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10 for redundancy or performance. Up to 512 devices can be addressed through the controller.

Sustained throughput with Fusion-MPT

The LSI SAS 3008 processor offloads RAID calculations from the host CPU during continuous workloads. Fusion-MPT messaging keeps command queues moving without stalling under heavy I/O. Twelve-gigabit links maintain bandwidth across all eight ports when drives are saturated. RAID 1 and 10 rebuilds proceed in the background without halting array access.

Low-profile plug-in card for internal cabling

A standard plug-in card form factor fits typical server chassis without blocking adjacent slots. Eight internal SAS connectors accept Mini-SAS HD cables for direct backplane attachment. No external brackets or cables are required for normal deployment. The PCI-Express 3.0 interface supplies both power and data through the motherboard slot.

Questions about this item

How much power does the AOC-S3008L-L8I draw during continuous 12Gb/s SAS operation?

The card uses an LSI SAS 3008 I/O processor with a PCI Express 3.0 host interface, designed for efficient RAID performance without external power connectors.

What motherboard slot and internal cabling are required to install this RAID adapter?

You need a free PCI Express 3.0 slot and internal SAS cables to connect the eight 12Gb/s SAS ports to your drive backplane or direct-attached drives.

Can the controller manage 512 devices while running RAID 0, 1 or 10 alongside legacy PCI Express 2.0 hardware?

The adapter supports up to 512 devices and RAID 0, 1, 10 on a PCI Express 3.0 link; it will operate at PCI Express 2.0 speeds if installed in a 2.0 slot.
