Overview
The LSI SAS 9200-8e, dual port, host bus adapter provides high performance connectivity for
external JBOD and external RAID enclosures. The LSI SAS 9200-8e provides 8 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS
connectivity to 8 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 5Gb/s performance to eliminate bottlenecks. Performance
is based on the LSISAS2008 IO controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI
Express and SAS technology. The HBA supports up to 512 SAS 2.0 compliant devices.
The LSI SAS 9200-8e has two (x4) external mini- SAS connectors (SFF8088) enabling a low prole
solution that can achieve over 320,000 IOPs. Automatic speed negotiation for SAS and SATA data
transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane assures legacy compatibility while new systems can
benet from T-10 Protection Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data
corruption, and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.
SAS Leadership
Product Brief
LSI oers the broadest SAS product portfolio in the industry with true end-to-end solutions
including controllers, expanders, active-active multiplexers, ROCs, host bus adapters, RAID solutions,
and external storage. LSI’s proven SAS core has completed extensive stress and interoperability
testing resulting in the industry’s most robust, interoperable solution.
LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology to systems throughout the world for over seven
generations, making LSI the most experienced enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the
world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI adapter is providing the most advanced and robust
serial technology available.
Fusion MPT Architecture
The LSI SAS host bus adapters are based on the Fusion MPT™ architected SAS controllers, which
implements LSI’s Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture. Each controller features
embedded PowerPC™ processors that deliver maximum host CPU ooad. The builtin intelligence
enables LSI to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion MPT controller or adapter. The
architecture enables high performance, reduced software development, and faster time to market.
