Overview

The SAS 9305 16-port and 24-port, 12Gb/s SAS HBA family provides

increased connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers

and appliances with internal storage or when connecting to large-scale

storage enclosures.

The SAS 9305 HBA family is based on either the SAS 3216 or 3224 IO

controller that integrates the latest enhancements in SAS and PCI Express®

technology. The adapters can deliver more than 1 million IOPs. The HBAs

support up to 24 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates. The

HBA family supports 8 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI

Express 3.0 speciﬁ cation. The adapters are backwards compatible with the

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. Avago provides a broad suite of

industry standard operating system drivers.

Avago Storage Solutions

Avago Limited products serve four primary target markets: wireless

communications, wired infrastructure, enterprise storage, and industrial

and other. Avago has the industry’s broadest portfolio of storage solutions,

backed by decades of experience and trusted by the world’s leading server

and storage suppliers. Avago provides the building blocks for storage

solutions that help customers understand, prioritize, store and protect

critical data.

The Avago 12Gb/s SAS portfolio includes MegaRAID controller cards, HBAs,

advanced software options, Syncro shared DAS solutions, and SAS storage

ICs, including RAID-on-Chip (ROCs), I/O controllers and expanders.

Fusion-MPT™ Architecture

Avago SAS HBAs are based on Fusion-MPT architected SAS controllers,

which implement the Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology)

architecture. Each controller features embedded PowerPC™ processors

that help deliver maximum host CPU oﬄ oad. The built-in intelligence

enables Avago to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion-

MPT controller or adapter. The architecture helps enable high performance,

reduced software development, and faster time to market.
