Product Brief

16-Port SAS HBA Provides Maximum Connectivity and Performance for

External JBOD and External RAID Enclosures

Overview

The LSI SAS 9201-16e, quad port, host bus adapter provides maximum connectivity and

performance for external JBOD and external RAID enclosures. The LSI SAS 9201-16e provides

16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS connectivity to 8 lanes of PCI Express 2.0. Performance is based on the

LSISAS2116 IO controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI Express and SAS

technology. The HBA supports up to 512 SAS or SATA devices.

The LSI SAS 9201-16e has four (x4) external mini -SAS connectors (SFF8088) enabling a solution

which provide SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane through automatic

speed negotiation that can achieve over 430,000 IOPs. Enhanced features include T-10 Protection

Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum

Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.

SAS Leadership

LSI oers the broadest SAS product portfolio in the industry with true end-to-end solutions

including controllers, expanders, active-active multiplexers, ROCs, host bus adapters, RAID solutions,

and external storage. LSI’s proven SAS core has completed extensive stress and interoperability

testing resulting in the industry’s most robust, interoperable solution.

LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology to systems throughout the world for over seven

generations, making LSI the most experienced enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the

world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI adapter is providing the most advanced and robust

serial technology available.

Fusion MPT Architecture

The LSI SAS host bus adapters are based on the Fusion MPT™ architected SAS controllers, which

implements LSI’s Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture. Each controller features

embedded PowerPC™ processors that deliver maximum host CPU ooad. The builtin intelligence

enables LSI to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion MPT controller or adapter. The

architecture enables high performance, reduced software development, and faster time to market.
