12 Gb/s SAS Tri-Mode Adapter

The LSI SAS 9400-16e is a 12 Gb/s SAS tri-mode storage adapter with four SFF-8644 mini-SAS HD external connectors. It installs in an x8 lane PCI Express 3.1 slot and supports up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices. The card is suited for servers and workstations that need external JBOD or direct-attached storage expansion.

External JBOD expansion

This adapter targets administrators connecting external drive enclosures via mini-SAS HD cables. It does not serve systems that lack a full-height PCIe 3.1 x8 slot or that require internal port connectivity. Buyers needing internal drive attachments or a different bracket height should consider other options.

Four SFF-8644 connectors

The deciding specification is the four external SFF-8644 mini-SAS HD ports, each operating at up to 12 Gb/s. These ports determine which enclosures and cables can be attached directly to the controller. Verify that your external storage chassis uses matching mini-SAS HD interfaces before purchasing.
