devices.
The SAS 9211-8i has two (x4) internal mini SAS connectors (SFF8087) enabling a low profile
solution which provide SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane through
automatic speed negotiation that can achieve over 320,000 IOPs. Enhanced features include
T-10 Protection Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data corruption,
and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.
