Broadcom LSI 9300‑8e PCIe3.0 IT‑Mode 12G SAS Tri‑Mode External‑Only HBA Storage Adapter

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. Entry‑level PCIe 3.0 pure‑external IT‑mode HBA card built‑on SAS3008 chip, pre‑flashed with native IT pass‑through firmware, without hardware‑RAID function. It is designed to link external JBOD disk enclosures for ZFS, TrueNAS and Unraid NAS systems.
2. PCIe 3.0 x8 bus bandwidth, dual SFF‑8644 external ports, supporting up to 8 external drive channels for off‑server storage expansion cabinets.
3. Tri‑mode compatibility supports 12G SAS HDD, 6G SATA SSD and U.2 NVMe drives, allowing mixed‑storage deployments of mechanical hard‑disks and solid‑state drives on JBOD arrays.
4. Fan‑free passive heat‑sink design, zero‑noise operation, stable for 24/7 long‑term continuous operation in data‑center rack‑mounted servers.
5. DOM digital diagnostic monitoring, users can check drive health, link status and adapter temperature through the StorCLI command‑line utility for routine maintenance.
6. Hot‑swap‑capable, enabling online hard‑disk replacement without shutting down the host server.

Application Scenarios

• Small‑scale NAS with external JBOD disk‑shelf capacity expansion
• Virtualization‑host external shared storage pool deployment
• Small‑enterprise cold‑data backup and archive storage systems
• Mini 4K‑video‑surveillance mass‑storage disk‑array connection
