Green circuit board with four external 36-pin Mini MultiLane connectors on a low-profile metal bracket

LSI

LSI SAS9300-16E 16-port 12 Gbps SAS RAID controller

SKU CH-3FE2-PQTQ4 MPN SAS9300-16E

A 16-port SAS host bus adapter with 12 Gbps external connectivity via four 36-pin Mini MultiLane ports on a PCIe 3.0 x8 low-profile card

  • 16 external ports connect up to 16 SAS or SATA drives
  • 12 Gbps SAS bandwidth handles heavy storage workloads
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host bus delivers high throughput to the server
  • LSI SAS3008 processor manages I/O with low latency
  • Low-profile bracket fits 1U and compact chassis

16-port 12 Gbps SAS HBA

The LSI SAS9300-16E is a 16-channel host bus adapter built around the LSISAS3008 processor. It connects up to sixteen SAS or SATA drives through four external 36-pin Mini MultiLane ports. The card targets servers and workstations that need high-density external storage connectivity.

PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and external cabling

Verify that the host system provides a free PCIe 3.0 x8 slot with sufficient bracket clearance for the low-profile form factor. The four 36-pin connectors require matching Mini MultiLane cables to reach external drive enclosures or backplanes. Confirm the enclosure supports 12 Gbps SAS or 6 Gbps SATA signalling.

External Mini MultiLane connectivity

Four shielded 36-pin 4x Mini MultiLane ports are the only interfaces supplied; no internal ports or RAID key are included. The card operates in initiator mode for JBOD or software RAID configurations. Cables and drive enclosures must be sourced separately to complete the storage link.

Questions about this item

What cables or brackets come with the SAS9300-16E, and what must I source separately?

The card has four 36-pin external Mini MultiLane ports; Mini SAS HD cables and any low-profile or full-height bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the SAS9300-16E or a different port-count model for my chassis?

This model provides 16 channels across four external ports; select it when you need to connect up to 16 SAS or SATA drives through external enclosures, otherwise a lower-port-count adapter may suffice.

What does the 12 Gbps per lane figure mean for real-world drive throughput?

Each of the 16 lanes runs at 12 Gbps, so a SAS SSD can deliver up to 12 Gbps and a SATA SSD up to 6 Gbps; aggregate bandwidth across all lanes depends on the PCIe 3.0 x8 host link.
