LSI Logic 9300-4i4e 12Gb/s SAS HBA Card PCI Express 4Port Controller LSI00348

The LSI Logic 9300-4i4e is a high-speed SAS HBA card designed for servers and storage systems that require fast data transfer rates and reliable connectivity. It supports both internal and external storage devices, making it ideal for environments that need to connect multiple drives efficiently. The card features four internal and four external ports, all operating at 12Gb/s SAS speeds, which is significantly faster than older standards. This makes it suitable for high-performance computing and data centers where speed and scalability are critical.

The card uses a low-profile form factor, which is perfect for systems with limited space inside the chassis. It includes mini-SAS HD connectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of storage devices. The eight lanes of PCI Express 3.0 provide high bandwidth, allowing for smooth data transfers even under heavy workloads. This design ensures that the card can handle demanding applications without causing bottlenecks in the system.

The LSI SAS 3008 controller inside the card supports a variety of storage media, including SSDs, HDDs, and tape drives. This versatility makes it suitable for different types of storage configurations and use cases. The card also supports both SAS and SATA devices, giving users more flexibility in their storage setup. It is an OEM product, meaning it is typically sold to manufacturers or resellers rather than directly to end-users.

Installation of the card requires a compatible PCI Express slot on the motherboard. It is important to ensure that the system has sufficient power and cooling to support the card's performance. The card comes with all necessary connectors and cables for immediate use, though additional cabling may be required depending on the storage configuration. Users should also verify that their system's BIOS or firmware supports the card's features for optimal performance.
