16-port 12Gb/s SAS RAID adapter

The LSI SAS 9400-16i is a low-profile x8 lane PCI Express 3.1 host bus adapter that presents 16 internal SAS ports through four SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD connectors. It is built around the SAS3416 controller and supports transfer rates up to 12Gb/s per lane. The card operates on +12V and 3.3V rails with a typical draw of 11.95W. Microsoft Windows, Linux and VMware are supported operating systems.

Suited for dense internal storage arrays.

This adapter targets servers that need many internal drives behind a single low-profile slot. The four mini-SAS HD ports connect directly to backplanes or drive cages using passive copper cables. Builders who require external port brackets, optical cables or a different bracket height should look at other form factors.

Four SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD connectors decide drive

Each of the four internal connectors carries four lanes, giving 16 ports in total at 12Gb/s. If the chassis or backplane uses a different connector style or fewer lanes, the card cannot be cabled without adapters that are not included. Verify the exact connector type before purchase.
