Lenovo SAS 430-16i SATA/SAS 12Gb PCIe Controller for ThinkSystem | 01KN501 — High-Performance HBA for Enterprise Storage
The Lenovo SAS 430-16i (Part Number 01KN501) is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to deliver direct, reliable SAS and SATA connectivity for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. Optimized for SSD performance and high-density storage, this low-profile, half-length PCIe 3.0 x8 HBA enables seamless connection of up to 16 internal drives via four Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) connectors, offering blazing-fast 12Gbps per port data transfer speeds.
Unlike traditional RAID controllers, the SAS 430-16i operates in JBOD/pass-through mode, providing direct access to connected drives for maximum performance, ideal for enterprise environments requiring robust, low-latency storage without RAID overhead.
