6Gb/s SATA+SAS advantage
The LSI SAS 9211-8i host bus adapter provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 6Gb/s ports, driving up to 256 SAS and SATA physical devices. This HBA offers dynamic SAS functionality including dual-port drive redundancy and SATA compatibility. Utilizing SFF8087 mini-SAS connectors, the low-profile SAS 9211-8i is an excellent ft for 1U and 2U servers.

Low overhead integrated RAID architecture
LSI Integrated RAID (IR) is a low-cost, hardware RAID solution made possible by Fusion-MPT architecture, which can achieve over 290,000 IOs per second. IR is a processor-based RAID solution designed for systems requiring redundancy and high-availability where a full- featured RAID implementation is not desired or may be cost-prohibitive. The LSI SAS 9211-8i employs the LSISAS2008 controller to perform these RAID functions. By providing RAID at the hardware level, the host CPU does not perform RAID calculations allowing for more efficient system operation.
