Broadcom LSI 9300‑16e PCIe3.0 IT‑Mode 12G SAS Tri‑Mode External‑Only HBA Storage Adapter

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. PCIe 3.0 generation pure‑external IT‑mode HBA card based on SAS3008 controller chip, factory‑flashed with native IT pass‑through firmware, no hardware‑RAID function. It is dedicated for connecting external JBOD disk enclosures for TrueNAS, ZFS, Unraid software‑defined storage systems.
2. PCIe 3.0 x8 bus bandwidth, four SFF‑8644 external ports, supporting up to 16 external drive channels for off‑server JBOD expansion shelves.
3. Tri‑mode compatible architecture, supports 12G SAS HDD, 6G SATA SSD and U.2 NVMe drives, enabling mixed‑storage deployments of mechanical and solid‑state drives on external disk arrays.
4. Fan‑free passive heat‑sink design, zero noise, capable of stable 24/7 continuous operation within data‑center rack‑mounted server environments.
5. DOM digital diagnostic monitoring; drive health status, link condition, card temperature can be checked via the StorCLI command‑line tool for daily storage‑system maintenance.
6. Hot‑swap compliant, supporting online hard‑disk replacement without shutting down the host server.

Application Scenarios

• Enterprise‑grade NAS with large‑scale external JBOD disk‑shelf capacity expansion
• Virtualization‑cluster shared external storage pool construction
• Long‑term cold‑data archiving, disaster‑recovery backup storage systems
