LSI 9300-16i 16-port RAID Controller Card

LSI 9300-16i 16-port RAID Controller Card

This is a new LSI RAID controller card that connects through a PCI Express slot. It provides sixteen ports for attaching storage devices and operates with a 12 GB/s host bus adapter speed. The card carries part number 03-25600-01B and is identified as model 9300-16i. It is intended for systems that need many drive connections through a single expansion card.

Suited for servers and workstations needing dense

This card suits administrators who want to connect up to sixteen drives through one PCI Express adapter. It is not for home desktop users who only need a single extra port or who lack a compatible PCI Express slot. Buyers who require a different port count or a different bus interface should look at other options.

Sixteen ports and 12 GB/s host bus speed

The defining specification is the combination of sixteen ports and a 12 GB/s host bus adapter rate. This density and throughput determine whether the card matches the storage expansion plan. Verify that the target system has an available PCI Express slot and that the backplane or cables support the same port count and speed.
