SAS 9305
12Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter Family
Overview
The SAS 9305 16-port and 24-port, 12Gb/s SAS HBA family provides increased connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers and appliances with internal storage or when connecting to large-scale storage enclosures.
The SAS 9305 HBA family is based on either the SAS 3216 or 3224 IO controller that integrates the latest enhancements in SAS and PCI Express® technology. The adapters can deliver more than 1 million IOPs. The HBAs support up to 24 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates. The HBA family supports 8 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI Express 3.0 specification. The adapters are backwards compatible with the previous SAS and PCIe generations through automatic negotiation and provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3 Gb/s per lane and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane. Avago provides a broad suite of industry standard operating system drivers.
