Description

LSI 9302-16e 12Gbps SAS-3 external PCIe x16 HBA P16 IT mode ZFS TrueNAS UNRAID
Listed for sale is an LSI 9302-16E external SAS controller card. It is fully updated to Avago / LSI 9302-16E IT  (Initiator Target) mode firmware version P16 (specifically 16.00.10.00). I also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS3 BIOS ROM version 08.37.00.00 and UEFI 18.00.00.00 so that it is easier to access the controller's ROM without booting an OS.
LSI IT mode firmware version P16 (16.00.10.00)
MPTSAS3 BIOS ROM flashed version 08.37.00.00
MPTSAS3 UEFI ROM flashed version 18.00.00.00

full profile form factor
PCIe 3.0 x16
These are based on a pair of LSI SAS3008 SAS controller chipset and support 12Gbps SAS-3 storage devices. It uses a PCI-E 3.0 connection with x16 lanes. The controller has 4 SFF-8644 connectors, each carrying 4x 12Gbps SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your JBOD or disk enclosure.
CAUTION#1
: Please note this card is a high performance card and runs hot. You must install it plenty of airflow over its heatsinks. Improper cooling can cause failure and poor reliability.
These cards are fully tested in my Supermicro server running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc. I have fully tested them using all 16 SAS lanes.

Why buy from the Art of Server?
I can provide technical support if you have problems
I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit.
I ship fast, usually same or next business day!
I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per eBay policy)
I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube.
I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc.
I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed.
I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-)
I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts.
I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?
Who is the Art of Server?
I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
