LSI PCI E (x4) Dual External MiniSAS Host Bus Adapter

PCI Express, 3 Gb/s, SAS, 8-port Host Bus Adapter
The LSI SAS3801E card enables large-scale direct attach storage (DAS) arrays through eight external 3Gb/s ports, driving up to 122 SAS and SATA devices. The host bus adapter drives external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclosures with unprecedented throughput by connecting an eight-lane 2.5 Gb/s PCI Express bus with two external x4 SFF8088 miniSAS connectors. This SAS/SATA low-profile adapter is perfect for 1U/2U servers, driving 4800 MB/s full-duplex externally.
