LSI SAS 3008 12Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA network card

SKU CH-HRVF-7K0DD

A 12Gb/s SAS and SATA host bus adapter with two Mini SAS SFF-8643 ports, PCIe 3.0 x8 connectivity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10 support

  • 12 Gb/s throughput with SAS 3.0 compliant SAS 3008 controller
  • Eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth for high-speed storage connectivity
  • Two mini SAS SFF-8643 ports supporting SAS and SATA drives
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10 via integrated IR mode
  • Driver installation required using the supplied optical disc

SAS 3008 12Gb/s RAID HBA

This LSI host bus adapter adds eight internal SAS and SATA lanes through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. It targets server builders and storage integrators who need hardware RAID 0, 1, 1E or 10 without a full RAID-on-chip expense. The card requires driver installation from the supplied optical disc before use.

Dual SFF-8643 mini-SAS ports

Two SFF-8643 connectors each carry four 12Gb/s lanes, so the single specification that decides fit is the availability of matching breakout cables or backplanes for your drive bays. The board is compatible with the SAS 9311-8I reference design and operates in IR mode for the supported RAID levels.

Sustained 12Gb/s throughput

Under continuous load the SAS 3008 controller maintains 12Gb/s per lane across both ports, avoiding the throttling seen in burst-only designs. PCIe 3.0 x8 bandwidth keeps the host interface from becoming the bottleneck during long rebuilds or sequential streaming workloads.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 figure mean once the card is installed in a server?

Each connected SAS or SATA drive can run at up to 12 Gb/s, so the controller does not throttle modern 12 Gb/s SSDs or HDDs.

The card uses PCIe 3.0 x8 — what does that cap in practice?

The x8 lane gives enough bandwidth for eight 12 Gb/s lanes, so the host bus will not limit the two SFF-8643 ports.

What does the board need to fit and mount in a chassis?

It plugs into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and provides two SFF-8643 Mini SAS connectors for drive cables.
