Broadcom Avago 9305‑16i PCIe3.0 IT‑Mode 12G SAS Tri‑Mode Internal‑Only HBA Storage Adapter

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. High‑density PCIe‑3.0 internal‑only IT‑mode HBA card based on SAS3224 controller chip, factory‑flashed with native IT pass‑through firmware, without hardware‑RAID function. It is widely deployed for 16‑bay rack‑mount ZFS, TrueNAS NAS and software‑defined‑storage (SDS) servers.
2. PCIe 3.0 x8 bus bandwidth, four SFF‑8643 internal ports supporting up to 16 internal hard‑disk channels for high‑capacity storage chassis.
3. Tri‑mode compatibility supports 12G SAS HDD, 6G SATA SSD and U.2 NVMe drives, supporting mixed‑storage deployments of mechanical‑hard‑disks and solid‑state drives.
4. Passive rib‑style heat‑sink, fan‑free design, zero noise, stable for 24/7 long‑term continuous operation in datacenter rack‑mounted server environments.
5. DOM digital diagnostic monitoring; users can check drive health, link condition and adapter temperature via the StorCLI command‑line utility for routine maintenance.
6. Hot‑swap compliant, enabling online hard‑disk replacement without shutting down the host server.

Application Scenarios

• 16‑bay rack‑mount enterprise‑grade TrueNAS / ZFS NAS storage servers
• Medium‑scale software‑defined‑storage (SDS) virtualization storage nodes
• Private‑cloud cold‑data archiving and long‑term backup storage
• 4K‑8K video post‑production local high‑capacity storage arrays
