Overview:
The LSI SAS 9206-16e, quad port, host bus adapter provides high performance acheiving over 1 million IOPs for high-end servers and storage applications. The LSI SAS 9206-16e provides 16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS data transfer rates. The adapter complies with the latest PCI Express 3.0 specification with 8Gb/s per lane. The adapter is backward compatible with previous PCIe generations and provides SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane through automatic speed negotiation. LSI provides a complete suite of industry standard operating system drivers. The LSI SAS 9206-16e has four (x4) external mini SAS HD connectors (SFF8644) enabling a low profile solution.
