Broadcom SAS 9202-16e
Add internal and external 6Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity and integrated RAID data protection

Overview:

The LSI SAS 9202-16e, quad port, host bus adapter provides high performance for high end servers and high performance storage applications. The LSI SAS 9202-16e provides 16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS matched with 16 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 5Gb/s performance to eliminate bottlenecks. Internal performance is based on dual LSISAS2008 IO controllers that highly integrate the latest enhancements in PCI Express and SATA technology and supports up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices.

The LSI SAS 9202-16e has four (x4) external HD mini SAS connectors (SFF8644) enabling a low profile 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 700,000 IOPs. Enhanced features include T-10 Protection Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.
