Product Description
The LSI 9300 - 8i 12G SAS HBA card module is a high - performance storage controller card. Here are its detailed specifications and features5:
- Interface and Data Transfer:
- Interface Type: It has a Serial SATA/SAS interface, with 8 internal ports, supporting both SAS and SATA drives, providing flexibility in designing storage architectures. It can connect up to 1024 non - RAID SAS/SATA devices.
- Data Transfer Rate: The data transfer rate can reach up to 12 Gb/s for SAS and 6 Gb/s for SATA, and it is backward - compatible with previous - generation SAS and PCIe through automatic negotiation, supporting SAS data transfer rates of 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s per lane, as well as SATA data transfer rates of 3 Gb/s per lane.
- Hardware Specifications:
- Host Interface: It adopts the PCI - Express 3.0 x8 interface, which complies with the latest PCI - Express 3.0 specification. The 8 - lane PCI - Express 3.0 provides fast signaling for high - bandwidth applications, ensuring efficient data transmission between the network card and the server motherboard.
- Form Factor: It has a low - profile form factor with dimensions of 2.6"×6.0", and comes with a full - height bracket, which can be easily installed in 1U/2U rack - mounted servers and workstations.
- Performance and Function:
- High - Performance Controller: The core of the card is the LSI SAS 3008 IO controller, which is based on the Fusion - MPT architecture and uses the LSI Fusion - MPT (Message Passing Technology). Each controller has an embedded PowerPC processor to achieve maximum host CPU offloading, allowing the card to handle high - speed storage data traffic.
- Wide Range of OS Support: It supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows (Vista/2008/Server 2003/2000/XP), Linux (SuSE, Red Hat), Solaris, VMware, FreeBSD, etc.
- Environmental Specifications:
- Operating Temperature: It operates in the temperature range of 0°C to 55°C.
- Operating Humidity: The operating humidity range is 5% to 90% non - condensing.
- MTBF: The mean time between failures (MTBF) is greater than 2,800,000 hours, indicating high reliability.
