Non-RAID passthrough is exactly what software-defined storage wants — ZFS, TrueNAS and FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox, and ESXi builds all prefer direct drive access over hardware RAID abstraction, and IT mode delivers precisely that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnectivity runs through two internal Mini-SAS HD SFF-8643 connectors over a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, moving data at up to 12Gb\/s SAS or 6Gb\/s SATA. Eight drives attach directly, and a SAS expander scales the same card into large arrays when a NAS build outgrows its first chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe packing list is minimalist — the card itself — which suits upgraders who already own the cabling for their backplane or drive cage. For a storage server that needs honest, transparent drive access at a sensible price, this is the established recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lemon tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691604533555,"sku":null,"price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7526\/5843\/files\/41sC7KruDfL._SL500.jpg?v=1784651343","url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/lemon-tree-lsi-9300-8i-compatible-sas-hba-card-it-mode","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
