Product Brief
LSI SAS9201-16e
16-Port, 6Gb/s SAS+SATA to PCI Express Host Bus Adapter
16-port SAS HBA Provides Maximum Connectivity and Performance for
External JBOD and External RAID enclosures
Overview
The LSI SAS9201-16e, quad port, host bus
adapter provides maximum connectivity and
performance for external JBOD and external
RAID enclosures. The LSI SAS9201-16e provides
16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS connectivity to 8 lanes
of PCI Express 2.0. Performance is based on the
LSISAS2116 IO controller that highly integrates
the latest enhancements in PCI Express and
SAS technology. The HBA supports up to 512
SAS or SATA devices.
The LSI SAS9201-16e has four (x4) external
mini -SAS connectors (SFF8088) enabling a
solution which provide SAS and SATA data
transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane
through automatic speed negotiation that
can achieve over 430,000 IOPs. Enhanced
features include T-10 Protection Information
Model for early detection of and recovery
from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum
Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.
SAS Leadership
LSI offers the broadest SAS product portfolio
in the industry with true end-to-end solutions
including controllers, expanders, active-active
multiplexers, ROCs, host bus adapters, RAID
solutions, and external storage. LSI’s proven
SAS core has completed extensive stress and
interoperability testing resulting in the industry’s
most robust, interoperable solution.
LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology
to systems throughout the world for over seven
generations, making LSI the most experienced
enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the

Fusion MPT Architecture
The LSI SAS host bus adapters are based on
the Fusion MPT™ architected SAS controllers,
which implements LSI’s Fusion-MPT (Message
Passing Technology) architecture. Each controller
features embedded PowerPC™ processors that
deliver maximum host CPU offload. The built-
in intelligence enables LSI to publish a single
binary OS driver to operate any Fusion MPT
controller or adapter. The architecture enables
high performance, reduced software develop-
ment, and faster time to market.
