LSI 9300-8e 12G 8PORT EXT PCIe RAID CARD

Overview
The SAS 9300 8 port, 12Gb/s SAS host bus adapter family provides increased
connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers and appliances within internal
storage, or connecting to large scale storage enclosures.
The SAS 9300 HBA family is based on the SAS 3008 IO controller, integrating the latest
enhancements in SAS and PCI Express®
technology. Each host bus adapter also supports 8
or 4 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates, and can reach over 1 million IOPs. The
9300 adapter family supports 8 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI Express 3.0
specifi cations. In addition, these adapters are backwards compatible with previous SAS and
PCIe generations through automatic negotiation, and provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6,
and 3 Gb/s per lane, and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane. Avago Technologies
provides a broad suite of industry standard operating system drivers.
