24-Port SAS Controller Card LSI Logic 05-25699-00 9305-24I 12GB/s PCIe 3.0

This is a high-performance storage controller card designed for data centers and enterprise environments. It allows direct attachment of up to 24 SAS or SATA drives, or connects to expanders for support of up to 1024 devices. The card uses PCIe 3.0 interface to deliver high bandwidth and low latency, making it suitable for applications that require fast data access and processing.

The card features a single-chip design, which reduces complexity and improves reliability. It supports both SAS and SATA drives, offering flexibility in storage configurations. With a throughput of 6,400 MBps and over 1.5 million IOPS, it is ideal for performance-sensitive applications such as virtualization, databases, and high-frequency trading systems.

The controller card is built with a low-profile form factor, making it suitable for servers with limited space. It includes all necessary components for immediate use, though additional SAS/SATA drives or expanders may be required depending on the setup. The card is compatible with systems that support PCIe 3.0 slots and is designed for easy installation in most modern server platforms.

It is important to ensure that the server's BIOS and operating system support SAS controllers and that the necessary drivers are available. This card is not recommended for consumer-grade systems due to its specialized use in enterprise environments.
