Eight-port SAS RAID controller

The Supermicro AOC-SASLP-H8IR adds eight SAS ports to a server through a PCI-Express x8 slot. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for redundancy or performance. The card targets administrators who need internal drive arrays without a separate backplane.

PCI-Express x8 bandwidth ceiling

The x8 electrical interface caps throughput to the lane budget of the host platform. Eight SAS lanes share that single uplink, so simultaneous heavy traffic on every port can saturate the bus. Systems limited to x4 or x1 slots will throttle the controller accordingly.

Low-profile plug-in card layout

A compact plug-in card bracket fits low-profile and full-height chassis alike. Internal mini-SAS connectors point toward the motherboard, keeping cables routed inside the server. The form factor leaves adjacent slots free for additional expansion cards.

Questions about this item

Which RAID level should I choose among 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60?

Level 0 stripes for speed, 1 mirrors for redundancy, 5 and 6 add parity with one or two drive failures tolerated, 10 mirrors striped pairs, while 50 and 60 stripe across multiple parity groups for larger arrays.

What does the eight-port SAS controller deliver inside a server?

It connects up to eight SAS drives through a PCI-Express x8 slot and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 in hardware, offloading parity calculations from the CPU.

How does the PCI-Express x8 interface limit the card?

The x8 lane width caps total throughput to the bandwidth of a PCI-Express x8 generation, so the eight SAS ports share that single upstream link.
