Compatible with: LSI 9207-8i; Controller: LSI/Broadcom SAS2308 (6Gb/s SAS)
- Firmware (FW): HBA IT Mode; Data Transfer Rate: up to 6Gbps SAS and SATA 6Gbps per port
.
- Host Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8; Internal Connectors: 2× 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 home-lab & NAS storage
.
2× Mini-SAS SFF-8087, 8-Port 6Gbps PCIe 3.0 x8
Packing List: HBA Card ×1
- Built around the LSI/Broadcom SAS2308 controller, this 8-port 6Gb/s SAS HBA is a proven choice for ZFS and software-defined storage. Running in HBA IT Mode, it provides clean JBOD passthrough for SATA/SAS HDDs and SSDs—ideal for TrueNAS/FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox, and ESXi home-lab/NAS builds. The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface delivers ample bandwidth, while two internal Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors let you direct-attach up to 8 drives.
- Need more capacity? Add an external SAS expander to scale to large arrays without sacrificing reliability. Designed for 24/7 use, hot-swap workflows, and mixed SATA/SAS environments, this card supports common RAID-on-OS setups (ZFS, mdadm, Storage Spaces) and popular NAS enclosures.
