I bought this to use with a 3U SGI Rackable SE3016 16 Caddies 3.5" SAS SATA Storage Expander that I bought used on eBay. The Rackable SE3016 came with an SFF-8088 cable. The LSI SAS 9200-8e does NOT come with an SFF-8088 cable. The LSI SAS 9200-8e works perfectly on Ubuntu (14.04 Trusty Tahr, kernel 4.6.0) using module mpt2sas. No special configuration required - it is auto-detected by the kernel and JUST WORKS! On my ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 motherboard, the LSI SAS 9200-8e works in PCI-E 2.0 x8 mode. This will scale up to about 8 GBytes/sec - way beyond what the maximum that the 3U SGI Rackable SE3016 16 Caddies 3.5" SAS SATA Storage Expander will support (about 1.5 GBytes/sec).

This is a perfect HBA for added drive expansion. In my case I ended up going ahead and flashing to the latest P20 firmware via a UEFI shell script and then I needed to go into the card's bios and change a couple settings so my machine would boot properly.

Works flawlessly, plugged in and Win10 recoganized it immediately. Two mini SAS to Sata breakout cables running 8 drives with zero issue. I have a single arctic p120 blowing on it so it's not reliant on passive cooling and it's been great so far.

I moved from an LSI 9200-8e to this LSI 9200-16e and I have been happy

Works just like it is suppose to. If you are running a NAS and you need to add a disk shelf this is an affordable alternative.
