Product Description
The Supermicro AOC-USAS2LP-H8IR is a versatile 8-port SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide extensive storage connectivity for servers and workstations. This adapter allows systems to connect to a large number of SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives, making it ideal for storage-intensive applications, direct-attached storage (DAS) configurations, and systems requiring flexible drive management. The inclusion of eight ports significantly expands the storage potential of a single PCIe slot. Operating at a data transfer rate of 6 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) per port, the AOC-USAS2LP-H8IR offers robust performance for both SAS and SATA drives. This speed is sufficient for a wide range of storage needs, from general-purpose servers to more demanding applications that benefit from faster drive access. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express interface, ensuring a high-bandwidth connection to the host system, which is crucial for managing multiple drives simultaneously without performance degradation. A key feature of this HBA is its low-profile form factor, which makes it suitable for installation in compact server chassis and workstations that may not accommodate full-height expansion cards. While HBAs primarily focus on direct drive connectivity and data transport, they often work in conjunction with software or hardware RAID controllers to provide advanced data protection and management features. The Supermicro AOC-USAS2LP-H8IR is a foundational component for building scalable and efficient storage solutions.
