performance, 16-port 12Gb/s SAS HBAs connect servers and appliances to internal and external storage, achieving close to 2 million IOPS.

Overview

The Avago SAS 9300 16-port, 12Gb/s SAS HBA family provides increased connectivity and maximum

performance for high-end servers and appliances within internal storage, or connecting to large

scale storage enclosures.

The SAS 9300 16-port HBA family is based on the SAS 3008 IO controller, integrating the latest

enhancements in SAS and PCI Express® (PCIe) technology. The SAS 9300-16e and SAS 9300-16i

support 16 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates, and can reach close to 2 million IOPS.

The 16-port adapter family supports 8 PCIe lanes that comply with the latest PCIe 3.0 specications.

In addition, these adapters are backwards compatible with previous SAS and PCIe generations

through automatic negotiation, and provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3 Gb/s per lane,

and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane. Avago Technologies provides a broad suite of

industry standard operating system drivers.

Fusion-MPT™ Architecture

The Avago SAS HBAs are based on the Fusion-MPT architected SAS controllers, which implements

the Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture. Each controller features embedded

PowerPC™ processors that help deliver maximum host CPU ooad. The built-in intelligence enables

Avago to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion-MPT controller or adapter. This

architecture helps enable high performance, reduced software development, and faster time to

market.
