LSI 9202-16e 6Gbps SAS HBA full profile P20 IT mode firmware ZFS FreeNAS unRAID. Listed for sale are LSI 9202-16e host bus adapters (HBA) cards that I flashed to IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). I also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM version 07.39.02.00 so that it is easier to access the controller's ROM without booting an OS. This is a ultra high performance HBA with dual SAS2008 chipsets, and a PEX 8632 32-lane PCI-E switch chipset; it was basically the Ferrari of LSI HBAs of its time, able to achieve > 5900MB/sec throughput (using SSD arrays) and > 720,000 4K random read IOPS! LSI Avago IT mode firmware version P20 (20.00.07.00).

MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM flashed version 07.39.02.00. High performance HBA that can do 5,932MB/s with the right SSDs and tuning!!! Over 720,000 4K random read IOPS!!! These are based on dual LSI SAS2008 SAS controller chipset w/ a 32-lane PCI-E switch (PEX8632) and support PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x16 lanes. Please make sure you have an available x16 (electrical) lane PCI-E slot to fully exploit what this HBA can do.

The controller has 4 SFF-8644 connectors, each carrying 4 SAS lanes and support SAS-1, SAS-2, and SATA-II/III, up to 6Gbps connection per drive. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your external hard drive chassis/JBOD. These cards are fully tested in my Supermicro server running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc. I have fully tested them using all 8 SAS lanes.

Not ready to drive the Ferrari of HBAs? Need something a little more tame?

Feel free to ask any questions. I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit. I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. I fully test the HBAs I sell.

See my testing process on YouTube. I clean the server components I sell.

You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc. I love what I do!

I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?

Who is the Art of Server? I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers.
