LSI SAS 9201-16E Half-Length 16-Port 6GB/s PCIe Host Bus Adapter

The LSI SAS 9201-16E is a high-performance SAS controller card designed for servers and storage systems that require multiple disk drives. It provides 16 ports of SAS connectivity through four external Mini-SAS ports, allowing for the connection of multiple hard drives or SSDs. This card is ideal for data centers and enterprise environments where high-speed data access and scalability are essential.

The card supports data transfer rates of up to 600 MBps per port, ensuring fast data movement between storage devices and the host system. It uses PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, which provides a reliable and high-speed connection to the motherboard. The absence of RAID support means it is best suited for environments where RAID is not required or is managed by other components.

The half-length full-height form factor makes it compatible with most standard server chassis, allowing for easy installation in existing systems. The card is built with durable materials to ensure reliability in demanding environments. Its design allows for easy access to ports and ensures proper airflow within the server chassis.

The package includes the SAS controller card, a quick installation guide, and a driver and manual CD. Users should ensure they have a compatible motherboard with a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and sufficient power supply to support the connected storage devices. Proper installation and configuration are essential to achieve optimal performance.
