SKU CH-NAF7-ZWS0H MPN 9300-8E

Eight-port 12 Gb/s SAS controller with two external SFF-8644 connectors on a PCI Express 3.0 x8 plug-in card

  • 12 Gb/s SAS bandwidth for high-throughput storage
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface for low-latency connectivity
  • Two external SFF-8644 ports for JBOD expansion
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots
  • No RAID overhead keeps CPU cycles free for applications

SAS Controller with 12Gb/s Speed

The LSI Logic 9300-8E is a SAS controller card designed for systems that need to connect external SAS storage enclosures. It plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and provides two external SFF-8644 ports for 12Gb/s SAS links. This card targets administrators expanding direct-attached storage capacity on compatible servers or workstations.

Check Slot and Bracket Clearance

Verify that your chassis has a free PCI Express 3.0 x8 or wider slot and enough rear-panel space for a full-height bracket measuring 2.7 inches tall by 6.6 inches wide. The board weighs approximately 1.32 lb, so confirm the slot retention mechanism can secure a card of that mass. No RAID firmware is included, so plan for software RAID or JBOD management at the operating-system level.

Two External Ports for Enclosure Links

The bundle delivers two SFF-8644 connectors that each carry four 12Gb/s lanes to external drive shelves or JBODs. Because the controller presents raw SAS ports without hardware RAID, the connected drives appear directly to the host OS for ZFS, Storage Spaces, mdadm or similar software stacks. No internal SAS ports or cables are supplied with this model.

Questions about this item

Does the LSI Logic 9300-8E include cables or brackets, or must they be purchased separately?

The card is supplied as a standalone plug-in controller; external SAS cables and any mounting brackets are not included and must be sourced separately.

The listing mentions 9300-8E and H5-25460-00 — which one should I order?

Both numbers refer to the same 12 Gb/s SAS host bus adapter; choose whichever part number matches your procurement list.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS rating mean when the card is installed in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot?

The controller delivers up to 12 Gb/s per SAS lane across its two SFF-8644 external ports, while the PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface provides ample bandwidth for that throughput.
