#246392 — PCIe 3.0 8 port SATA 6 Gbps HBA for SOHO network

debian-user:

I have a SOHO network with various x86_64 servers/ workstations/ 
desktops (FreeBSD, Debian, Windows) and an assortment of phones/ pads/ 
pods/ televisions/ game consoles, etc..  I would like to add more SATA 6 
Gbps HDD's and/or SSD's to the x86_64 machines and am looking for a 
suitable PCIe 3.0 8 port SATA 6 Gbps host bus adapter (non-RAID).


The LSI® SAS 9207-8i PCI Express® to 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Host Bus Adapter looks appealing:

Comments or suggestions?

In my opinion Broadcom\LSI\Avago is one of the best hardware storage 
solutions you can get.
But, this model is EOL.
I mean if it works it works, but in case of any problems with it in the 
future, there will be no official support, no updates to firmware, no 
updates/fixes for drivers.

Thank you for the reply.  :-)


Most of my hardware is EOL, Broadcom still makes the latest firmware 
available, and I assume the FreeBSD mps(4) device driver won't be EOL'd 
anytime soon, so the 9207-8i being EOL is not a problem.

Sorry -- this message is also posted to freebsd-questions and I got 
confused.  :-/


STFW I am unable to determine if the LSI 9207-8i HBA (SAS 2308 I/O 
controller) is supported by Linux and Debian (?).  Suggestions?

This adapter has VEN_ID 1000 & DEV_ID 0087.¹
Output from "$ sudo modinfo mpt3sas" suggests that devices based on this 
controller should be supported.

Thank you for the reply.  :-)


"The PCI ID Repository" is an interesting and useful resource:

     https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/


STFW using the site name and the card model finds that PCI identifier:

 
https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=site%3Apci%2Dids.ucw.cz%20LSI%209207%2D8i


Given a PCI card and/or chip make and model, how do I find if and what 
Debian version/ Linux device driver supports it?

We have a bunch of LSI 2008 and 3008 based cards in various
machines. They work exceedingly well. This is a 2308 card; in IT
mode (all separate disks, manage with mdadm or ZFS or whatever),
you will probably be quite happy.

Thank you for the reply.  :-)


STFW I see the LSI 9211-8i:

     https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12353333

     "Implements one LSI SAS 2008 eight-port 6Gb/s to PCIe 2.0 controller"

I want PCIe 3.0.



STFW I see the LSI 9300-8i:

     https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12354877

12 Gbps SAS is more than I need, and the price is about four times 
higher than the LSI 9207-8i.
