LSI 9211-8i SAS HBA with 2× SFF-8087

The LSI 9211-8i is a host bus adapter built around the LSISAS2008 controller. It provides eight 6 Gbps SAS or SATA lanes through two internal SFF-8087 connectors. The card ships in P20 IT mode, presenting drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction.

Ideal for ZFS, FreeNAS

This adapter suits builders who want the operating system to manage redundancy and data integrity. It is not for systems that require on-board hardware RAID acceleration, nor for installations without an available PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

How much power does the LSI 9211-8i with LSISAS2008 controller draw when running continuously in a ZFS or FreeNAS server?

The board uses the LSISAS2008 controller at 6Gbps SAS and SATA speeds; typical power draw for this generation of HBA is low enough for standard server airflow.

What cables or drive backplanes must I already have to connect drives to the two SFF-8087 ports?

You need Mini SAS SFF-8087 cables or a backplane with matching SFF-8087 connectors; each port carries four 6Gbps SAS or SATA lanes.
