1 x SFF-8087 mini-SAS Internal Connectors

The LSI SAS 9211-4i host bus adapter provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through four 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 one internal x4 SFF8087 Mini-SAS connector, the low-profile SAS 9211-4i is an excellent fit for 1U and 2U servers.

The SAS 9211-4i utilizes the embedded CPU in the LSISAS2008 controller to perform Integrated RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10 operations for reliable data protection with high-availability. The result is an ultra-thin, low-overhead device driver communicating over the x4 PCI Express 2.0 host interface. By reducing RAID code overhead, this HBA delivers high-speed READ/WRITE performance, making it perfect for medium to high-capacity internal storage applications.

SAS 6Gb/s Compliant The LSI 9211-4i features hot-pluggable, SATA-compatible SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) ports to provide 6Gb/s data transfer rates for optimum performance, efficiency, convenience and flexibility.
RAID Support The LSI 9211-4i supports multi-level RAID configuration including RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10 for better performance, enhanced data security and flexible capacity upgrades..
PCI Express 2.0 x4 Interface The LSI 9211-4i features the PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface which provides sufficient throughput and full-duplex operation for enhanced performance.

EndlessImaging 3/26/2013 6:55:32 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5As good as expected Pros: True SATA III capabilities, PCI-E x4 Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: Works well on Dell T3500 workstation system board, and so far a single SATA III SSD (Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe 240GB). May add two more drives in RAID 0 later. Comes with the SAS2004-IR BIOS that supports mixed JBOD and RAID arrays. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
XrXca 2/9/2013 10:19:59 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Non-Raid Speed, since reflashing the card to the IT configuration and moving it to a Linux server the speed has been great for two software (md) RAID 1 sets. Compatibility, has "Just Worked" in both machines/OS's it's been in. Cons: Poor RAID Performance. Not really a surprise as it has no onboard memory cache) but we hadn't expected high end performance for this price so not taking any stars away. Other Thoughts: I picked this up as a cheap temporary solution for a VMWare ESXi server, it worked and got use through till a new server with fibre SAN was ready. Having dealt with many HW vendors, it's very nice to see a RAID vendor where I don't have to go through hoops to get the firmware I need, or even documentation. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 10/2/2012 10:52:35 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5SATA 6Gb/s support on older motherboards Pros: An HBA with the ability to provide SATA 6Gb/s speeds for single or multiple single drives in IT mode on older X58 motherboards, which performs perfectly. Requires a free PCIe 2.0 x4 slot Support is great and MUST be sought for guidance on updating firmware and bios for changing between IR (integrated RAID) mode and IT (Initiator Target, single drives) mode. Connected with an SSD brought new life to an aging motherboard. Cons: Delivered with two year old firmware. firmware and BIOS update process must be followed precisely. Bootable USB creation with freeDOS and required utility instructions could be better. Call their helpful support before attempting to update. Needs separately supplied SAS breakout cables Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Halfrack 12/29/2011 11:21:19 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Fits into HP Microserver Pros: Needed hardware RAID1 for HP Microserver running ESXi - works great in a tight fit space. N82E16859107052 Cheapest option possible with a SFF-8087 and I prefer LSI anyways :D Cons: I thought RAID 0/1/10 cards would be smaller by now Other Thoughts: Had to setup RAID on a different machine due to Microserver not being able to launch utility.

N/A 8/16/2011 10:39:10 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 1/5DO NOT BUY FOR SSD DRIVES Pros: Cheap Cons: Does not pass the trim command aka discard due to a short coming of the firmware. Tech support was specifically not helpful and informed me there were NO PLANS to support TRIM/discard in the future. Other Thoughts: If you are not using SSD's this controller is fine, I'm just trying to help the next guy who wastes his money on hardware from a company who claims they have no intention of modernizing a 6GB/s SAS HBA card to support a modern feature set. 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Brian 4/12/2011 8:03:59 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Firmware update=non-bootable Pros: Unable to access. I read its a very fast card once the array is rebuilt fully. Cons: After updating the firmware from v7 to v9 the card could no longer be seen by BIOS as boot device. Followed every erase and re-flash procedure I could find to no avail. The POST would allow CTRL-C for config but after update that would only hang. Turns out that I wasn't alone in the issue of the POST config menu hanging. Wish it had offline array rebuilding since it's quite slow while the system is in use. Other Thoughts: If you purchase this card and have no real need to update firmware then don't. It ran good before the update. I just wanted the update in case it allowed offline rebuilding. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 11/30/2010 9:29:28 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Fast RAID 10 performance with 4 WD Scorpio blacks. Good UI for configuring RAID Cons: Caused hang @ verifying DMI data. See fix in other thoughts Other Thoughts: With a gigabyte X58A-UD5 board the card will cause the system to hang while booting, so you must go into the cards bios settings and disable booting from it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

DIrEctQL 11/3/2009 11:15:21 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Great card, bad package kit Pros: It's a great card. Will work with Linux great using megaraid driver. No issues there. Highly reliable and used widely across the industry. Cons: This card does NOT come with any cables! Imagine my surprise. This is kind of like a build a kit solution. The same package with the cable is 80 dollars more! Other Thoughts: I got the correct cable for 12.99. Works great. LSI branded cable sells for 44 bucks. 4 out of 17 people found this review helpful.
