Questions about this item

What bandwidth limit does the PCI-E 3.0 x8 interface impose on the SAS2308 controller under sustained load?

The PCI-E 3.0 x8 link caps the SAS2308 at roughly 8 GB/s, which becomes the bottleneck before the 6 Gb/s SAS ports saturate during heavy sequential workloads.

How much heat does the 9207-8e card add to a chassis when running all day in IT mode?

The board draws modest power through the PCI-E slot alone, so it only raises local temperatures slightly and is cooled adequately by standard case airflow.
