8-ports SAS Controller LSI Logic 9200-8e

The LSI Logic 9200-8e is a high-performance SAS controller designed for servers and storage systems that require reliable and fast data transfer. It supports up to eight SAS or SATA drives, making it ideal for environments that demand high throughput and scalability. The controller features a 6Gb/s data transfer rate per port, ensuring efficient handling of large data volumes. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, and VMware, which makes it versatile for different server environments.

The controller uses an 8-lane, 5 GT/s PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing a robust connection to the host system. It supports both full-height and low-profile bracket options, allowing for flexible installation in various server chassis designs. The MD2 low-profile form factor is particularly useful in space-constrained environments. The device also includes two x4 external SFF8088 Mini-SAS connectors, enabling connections to external storage devices and expansion options.

The LSI Logic 9200-8e is built with a PowerPC 440 processor running at 533MHz, which contributes to its high I/O performance of over 290,000 I/Os per second. It supports up to 512 physical devices, making it suitable for large-scale storage configurations. The controller is designed with energy efficiency in mind, with a maximum power usage of 13.5 watts and a mean time between failures exceeding 2,000,000 hours. This ensures long-term reliability and minimal downtime in mission-critical applications.

The SAS bandwidth capabilities of the controller are extensive, supporting both half-duplex and full-duplex modes across various port configurations. This flexibility allows users to optimize performance based on their specific storage needs. The controller also includes integrated non-RAID functionality, which simplifies configuration for users who do not require advanced RAID features. It is RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets environmental standards for hazardous material usage.
