Compatible with LSI 9207-8i IT Mode. Controller: LSI SAS2308
- Firmware (FW): HBA IT Mode (Non-RAID); Data Transfer Rate: 6Gbps per port
.
- Host Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8; Internal Connectors: TWO Mini-SAS SFF-8087. --Direct attach up to 8 drives, and expand via external SAS Expander for large arrays
.
- PERFECT FOR: ZFS, FreeNAS/TrueNAS, unRAID, Proxmox, ESXi passthrough, Linux/BSD/Windows Server storage
.
2x SFF-8087 to 4x SATA Cables. 8-Port 6Gbps PCIe 3.0 x8
Packing List: HBA Card ×1; 2× SFF-8087 to 4× SATA cables (for 8 SATA drives)
--Cables in box are for SATA drives. They are not compatible with SAS drives. To connect SAS drives, use SFF-8087 to 8482 SAS cables (sold separately) or our matched HBA + cable kit
Built around the LSI SAS2308 controller, this HBA is a proven 6Gbps SAS/SATA solution for DIY NAS and homelab storage. In HBA IT Mode, it presents each drive directly to the OS for clean JBOD/ZFS workflows—ideal for TrueNAS/FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox, ESXi passthrough, and Linux/BSD/Windows Server.
The card provides PCIe 3.0 x8 bandwidth and two internal Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors. Out of the box, we include 2× SFF-8087 to 4× SATA breakout cables so you can direct-attach up to 8 SATA HDD/SSD immediately. Need more capacity? Add an external SAS expander to scale to larger pools while keeping management simple.
Note: The included cables are for SATA drives only. If you plan to use SAS HDDs, please use SFF-8087 to 8482 SAS cables with power (sold separately) or choose our matched HBA + cable kit.
