Product Brief
8-port SAS HBA Provides High Performance for External JBOD and External
RAID enclosures
Overview
The Avago SAS 9207-8e host bus adapter provides high performance for 1U/2U mid to high-
end servers that connect to large scale storage enclosures. The SAS 9207-8e provides 8 lanes of
6Gb/s SAS matched with 8 lanes of PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0, 8Gb/s performance. Performance is
based on the SAS 2308 6Gb/s SAS IO Controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements
in PCIe and SAS technology.
The SAS 9207-8e has two (x4) external mini-SAS connectors (SFF8088) and provides SAS and
SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3, and 6Gb/s per lane and can achieve over 650K IOPs.
