External JBOD and External RAID Enclosure
s
Overview
The LSI SAS 9201-16i, quad port, host bus adapter provides maximum connectivity and
performance for servers and appliances with internal storage. The LSI SAS 9201-16i provides
16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS connectivity to 8 lanes of PCI Express 2.0. Performance is based on the
LSISAS2116 IO controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI Express and
LSI SAS 9201-16i
SAS technology. The HBA supports up to 512 SAS or SATA devices.
The LSI SAS 9201-16i has four (x4) internal mini- SAS connectors (SFF8087) enabling a solution
which provide SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane through automatic
speed negotiation that can achieve over 430,000 IOPs. Enhanced features include T-10
