The SAS3008-8I HBA is based on the SAS 3008 IO controller, integrating the latest enhancements in SAS and PCI Express® technology. Each host bus adapter also supports 8 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates, and can reach over 1 million IOPs. The SAS3008-8I adapter supports 8 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI Express 3.0 specifications. In addition, these adapters are backwards compatible with previous SAS and PCIe generations through automatic negotiation, and provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3 Gb/s per lane, and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane.
