16-port SAS HBA Provides Maximum Connectivity and Performance for
External JBOD and External RAID enclosures
Overview
The Avago SAS 9302-16e 16-port, 12Gb/s SAS host bus adapter (HBA) provides increased
connectivity and high performance for high-end servers and storage applications. The SAS 9302-16e
HBA is based on the Avago SAS 3008 IO controller that integrates the latest enhancements in SAS
and PCI Express technology and can achieve 2.8 million IOPS.
The Avago SAS 9302-16e has four (x4) external mini SAS HD connectors (SFF8644) and supports
16 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI Express 3.0 specification with 8Gb/s per lane in
a single direction. The HBA also supports 16 individual SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s. The HBA is
backward compatible with previous PCIe and SAS generations through automatic negotiation and
provides SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3Gb/s per lane, and SATA data transfer rates at 6 and
3Gb/s per lane. Avago provides a complete suite of industry standard operating system drivers.

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