Supermicro AOM-S3108M-H8 12Gb/s 8-Port SAS RAID Expansion Card

SKU CH-0JTJ-30W7R MPN AOM-S3108M-H8

Eight-port SAS RAID card adds 12 Gb/s internal storage with hardware RAID 5 and 6 support

  • Eight internal ports expand SAS and SATA storage capacity
  • Low-profile design fits compact server chassis
  • Hardware RAID 5 and 6 protect critical data
  • LSI SAS 3108 processor accelerates RAID performance
  • PCI Express host interface increases data bandwidth

Low Profile 12Gb/s SAS RAID Adapter

The Supermicro AOM-S3108M-H8 is a low-profile add-on card that provides eight internal 12Gb/s SAS connectors for enterprise storage arrays. It uses an LSI Logic SAS 3108 I/O processor and MegaRAID firmware to deliver hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and 6 across SAS or SATA drives. The PCI Express host interface supplies the bandwidth required for high-throughput server workloads.

Suited For Internal Enterprise Storage

This adapter fits builders who need a compact, internal RAID controller with eight SAS lanes and hardware parity support for critical data volumes. It is not for systems that lack a compatible PCI Express slot or that require external drive cabling. Environments needing a different port count or a non-RAID HBA should evaluate other controller models.

Eight Internal 12Gb/s SAS Ports

The card presents eight internal SAS connectors, each operating at 12Gb/s, which determines the maximum drive count and aggregate throughput available to the array. This port density and link speed are the primary factors when matching the adapter to a chassis backplane or direct-attached drive configuration.

Questions about this item

Does my server need a specific PCI Express slot for the AOM-S3108M-H8?

The card installs in any available PCI Express slot on the motherboard; the low-profile bracket fits standard and slim chassis.

Can I mix my existing SATA drives with new SAS drives on this controller?

Yes, the MegaRAID firmware supports both SAS and SATA drives simultaneously across the eight internal ports.

How do I verify the LSI SAS 3108 processor is active after installation?

The controller BIOS appears during POST and the MegaRAID utility will show the 12Gb/s link speed for each connected drive.
