LSI

LSI SAS 9200-16e 16-Port External HBA PCIe 2.0 x8

SKU CH-YHH1-267Y6

Connects up to 16 external SAS drives through a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface

  • 16 external SAS ports for high-density storage expansion
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface for broad server compatibility
  • IT mode firmware enables direct drive control for ZFS and FreeNAS
  • Four Mini-SAS SFF 8088 connectors support multi-chassis cabling

16-Port External SAS HBA

The LSI SAS 9200-16e provides sixteen external SAS ports over a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface. It connects up to four Mini-SAS SFF-8088 cables for direct-attached storage expansion. The card operates in IT mode, presenting drives directly to the operating system for software RAID or ZFS pools. It suits builders adding high-density external drive shelves to a server or workstation.

Thermals and power

The adapter draws up to 20 watts under typical load, a modest figure for a sixteen-port controller. Passive cooling relies on chassis airflow across the full-height bracket and heatsink. Acoustic output is limited to the system fans already present in the host. Power is supplied entirely through the PCIe slot without auxiliary connectors.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LSI SAS 9200-16e HBA into a server, and which PCIe slot width is required?

Insert the full-height card into a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot; the board will also negotiate down to x4 or x1 if a wider slot is unavailable.

What maintenance does the LSI SAS 9200-16e need, and which firmware mode should I plan for when replacing drives?

No moving parts require service; keep the IT-mode firmware current so replacement SAS drives are recognised without RAID metadata conflicts.
