The LSISAS2008 is a popular SAS/SATA controller based on the Fusion-MPT architecture, commonly found in OEM systems or sold as the LSI 9211-8i. It features an 8-port interface supporting SAS and SATA drives at 6Gb/s per lane. It connects via a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface, offering transfer rates up to 5.0 GT/s per lane. It is versatile and can typically be flashed into IT mode (HBA/pass-through) for software RAID solutions like TrueNAS/FreeNAS, or used in IR (Integrated RAID) mode for basic hardware RAID support (RAID 0, 1, 1E, 10, and potentially 5/50 with a RAIDKey). It supports up to 3000 devices and features like End-to-End CRC (ECRC) and Advanced Error Reporting (AER). Common versions have 2x Mini SAS SFF-8087 connectors.
