Dell LSI 9211 8i

This Dell LSI 9211-8i is a PCIe host bus adapter that adds internal SAS/SATA storage connectivity for server and workstation storage configurations. The 9211-8i provides eight internal 6Gb/s SAS/SATA lanes for connecting a storage backplane or internal drive cabling, commonly used where the drives are presented directly to the operating system or managed by software storage tools rather than by a hardware RAID cache controller. Compatibility depends on an available PCIe slot, the correct internal mini-SAS cabling and backplane or drive connections, supported SAS/SATA drive types, and operating-system driver or firmware support for the LSI 9211 controller family.
