Broadcom LSI 9300-8i 8-Port 12Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter
High-Speed Internal SAS Connectivity for Servers and Storage
The Broadcom LSI 9300-8i is an eight-port internal SAS host bus adapter designed to provide high-performance storage connectivity for servers and appliances. Built around the SAS 3008 Fusion-MPT controller, the adapter supports 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and uses an eight-lane PCI Express 3.0 host interface for high-bandwidth storage applications.
Two Mini-SAS HD SFF8643 connectors provide eight internal ports, while support for SAS and SATA devices gives system builders flexibility when connecting compatible SSDs, HDDs, and tape drives. Its low-profile form factor is suited to space-conscious server configurations.
