16-Port SAS HBA Provides Maximum Connectivity and Performance for
External JBOD and External RAID Enclosures
Overview
The LSI SAS 9201-16e, quad port, host bus adapter provides maximum connectivity and
performance for external JBOD and external RAID enclosures. The LSI SAS 9201-16e 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 SAS 9201-16e 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.

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 builtin 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 development, and faster time to market.
