Overview
LSI SAS 9207-4i4e host bus adapter provides a high performance solution for internal and external
storage connections in 1U/2U servers and workstations. The LSI SAS 9207-4i4e provides 8 lanes
of 6Gb/s SAS and is matched with 8 lanes of PCI Express 3.0, 8Gb/s performance to eliminate any
performance bottlenecks. Performance is based on the LSISAS2308 6Gb/s SAS IO Controller that
highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI Express and SAS technology.
The LSI SAS 9207-4i4e has one (x4) internal mini-SAS connector (SFF8087), one (x4) external mini-
SAS connector (SFF8088), and provides SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3, and 6Gb/s per
lane and can achieve over 650K IOPs.

Product Brief
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 built-in 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.
