Overview
LSI SAS 9207-4i4e host bus adapter provides a high performance solution for internal and ex-
ternal storage connections in 1U/2U servers and workstations. The LSI SAS 9207-4i4e provides
8 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS and is matched with 8 lanes of PCI Express 3.0, 8Gb/s performance to
eliminate any performance bottlenecks. Performance is based on the LSISAS2308 6Gb/s SAS IO
Controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI Express and SAS technology.
The LSI SAS 9207-4i4e has one (x4) internal mini-SAS connector (SFF8087), one (x4) external
mini-SAS connector (SFF8088), and provides SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3, and
6Gb/s per lane and can achieve over 650K IOPs.

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 control-
ler 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.
