## Description

Product Description Designed for large-scale, data-intensive applications, the SAS 9305-16i 12Gb/s SAS HBA is ideal for increased connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers and appliances with internal storage. With the performance of over 1.5 million input-output operations per second (IOPS), this adapter delivers the performance and scalability needed by critical applications. Set Contains: Storage controller

Review: Genuine Broadcom/LSI, works well, old firmware. - Your typical HBA, works well, runs hot. Comes in IT mode but plan on flashing the firmware if you want it to work in a UEFI setting (easy to do, surprisingly tough to find the firmware! Search Google and use the 45 drives result). Keep a small fan pointed at it or ensure your case has PLENTY of airflow.
Review: Good for Proxmox and TrueNAS use - Works great for my Qty 8 Exos 18TB dual-actuator SAS drives, plugged into a B550 / 5950x system, running Proxmox 8.4 hypervisor with the SAS card passed-thru to my TrueNAS Electric Eel instance. The card probably lives a very simple life with only spindle drives connected, but they easily move almost 2GBytes/sec when sending purely linear streaming writes.

- Interface: SAS 12Gb/s
- Data Transfer Rate: 1.2 GBps

I am using it as an HBA for TrueNAS with SATA drives. It worked without any problem in an older SuperMicro motherboard.
