{"product_id":"lemon-tree-lsi-9300-8i-it-mode-sas-hba-controller-card","title":"Lemon tree LSI 9300-8i IT Mode SAS HBA Controller Card","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lemon tree SAS HBA card puts the SAS3008 controller and LSI 9300-8i compatibility into the hands of home-lab and NAS builders who want direct control over their disks. Because it arrives in HBA IT Mode, a non-RAID firmware, every attached drive is passed straight to the operating system rather than hidden behind a hardware array. That is exactly the behavior filesystems like ZFS expect, which is why the listing highlights TrueNAS, unRAID, Proxmox, and ESVi-style storage projects as ideal use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the hardware side, two internal SFF-8643 connectors handle up to eight directly attached drives, and a compatible SAS expander opens the door to larger arrays. The card seats in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and supports 12Gb\/s SAS or 6Gb\/s SATA transfer rates. Two SFF-8643 to SFF-8482 cables are included for wiring SAS drives immediately out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne point to plan around: the included cables are for SAS drives and will not connect SATA disks. If your build uses SATA drives, you will need SFF-8643 to 4x SATA breakout cables, available separately or as part of a matched HBA and cable kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lemon tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53694898176307,"sku":null,"price":93.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7526\/5843\/files\/41sC7KruDfL._SL500_e931d6a4-dcb7-4433-9c14-b12ba6e1e574.jpg?v=1784699909","url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/lemon-tree-lsi-9300-8i-it-mode-sas-hba-controller-card","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
