Overview
The LSI SAS 9300-8i is an enterprise-grade Host Bus Adapter (HBA) built on the Broadcom SAS3008 controller. It is widely used in high-performance storage environments and is especially popular for software-defined storage platforms like FreeNAS/TrueNAS, unRAID, and ZFS when flashed to IT Mode, enabling direct disk passthrough without RAID abstraction.
Technical Specifications
- I/O Controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3008
- Port Count: 8 internal ports
- Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8
-
Data Transfer Rates:
- 12Gb/s SAS
- 6Gb/s SATA (backward compatible with 3Gb/s)
- Internal Connectors: 2 × Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643)
- Form Factor: Low-profile / Full-height (universal fit)
- Device Support: Up to 1024 SAS/SATA devices via expanders
- Performance: Up to ~1,000,000 IOPS
Key Features
-
IT Mode (Initiator Target):
Pre-flashed or flashable to IT Mode firmware (P16 or later), allowing direct drive passthrough—ideal for ZFS, TrueNAS, and unRAID. -
High-Performance Controller:
Based on the SAS3008 chipset for improved bandwidth and low latency. -

Platforms & Use Cases:
- TrueNAS / FreeNAS systems
- unRAID servers
- ZFS storage arrays
- Software-defined storage (SDS)
- Enterprise and lab environments
Important Notes
-
Cooling Requirement:
Ensure proper airflow; SAS3008 controllers generate significant heat. -
Cabling:
Requires SFF-8643 to SATA/SAS breakout cables (not included unless specified). -
IT Mode Operation:
No hardware RAID functionality—designed for direct disk access via OS/software.
