Dell LSI 9300-8e 12Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter

This Dell LSI 9300-8e is a low-profile PCIe SAS host bus adapter that adds external 12Gb/s SAS connectivity from a Dell host system to supported SAS or SATA storage enclosures. It functions as a non-RAID HBA, presenting attached drives to the operating system or software storage layer rather than managing hardware RAID arrays. Compatibility depends on an available low-profile PCIe slot, the required external SAS cabling and enclosure interface, SAS/SATA drive support behind the enclosure, operating system driver support, and whether the storage design calls for HBA pass-through instead of a PERC RAID controller.
