Broadcom LSI 8708ELP LSI00141 PCIe x4 LSISAS1078 8 Internal 3Gb/s SATA/SAS On-Chip RAID Adapter

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. Entry-level low-profile internal RAID/HBA dual-purpose card built on LSISAS1078 chip, compact PCB with PCIe x4 interface, suitable for small chassis and low-power servers.
2. Dual SFF-8087 internal connectors support up to 8 internal 3Gb SATA/SAS drives; PCIe x4 bandwidth matches low-speed disk array throughput.
3. Dual working modes:
   • IR RAID Mode: Hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50 with on-chip acceleration, for small office redundant backup storage.
   • IT Pass-through Mode: Can reflash pure IT firmware, OS fully controls each disk independently for ZFS/unRAID/FreeNAS 8-bay NAS.
4. Flat horizontal black passive heatsink saves vertical space, ideal for slim mini-ITX cases; full-height & low-profile brackets included.
5. Supports internal hard drive hot-swap under both RAID and IT firmware modes.
6. Cost-effective slim 8-port internal expansion card, mainstream choice for compact small-capacity NAS and office low-profile storage servers.

Application Scenarios

1. IR RAID deployment: Slim small office 8-drive internal redundant backup servers, low-profile rack compact storage nodes.
2. IT flashed deployment: Mini 8-bay ZFS TrueNAS / unRAID media NAS, mini-ITX low-power home storage chassis.
3. Not applicable: 6Gb high-speed SAS/SSD arrays, external JBOD expansion, storage requiring CacheVault power-off cache protection.
