Industry’s First 8-port
External SAS Controller
The LSISAS3801X card enables large-scale direct  
attach storage (DAS) arrays through eight external  
3Gb/s miniSAS ports, driving up to 122 Serial  
Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) devices.   
The host bus adapter supports large capacity  
external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclo-
sures by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus  
with two external x4 SFF8088 miniSAS connectors.   
The LSISAS3801X demonstrates a significant  
advantage over parallel SCSI in providing  2400MB/s  
(4800 MB/s full-duplex) external data through-
put and cost optimization of SAS and SATA drives.
Cost-Optimization of
External Storage with SAS
As the first-to-market leader in SAS, LSI is 
providing more bandwidth to cost-optimized 
external drive arrays.  System integrators can use  
the LSISAS3801X to build large-scale storage  
array infrastructures that support both SAS and  
SATA devices.  By utilizing lower-cost SATA drives  
for data backup and SAS drives for mission-
critical applications, end-users will receive high- 
capacity, high-performance data storage while 
enjoying an interrupt-free high-activity envi-
ronment.  The performance advantage and cost 
savings can be felt immediately when using the 
LSISAS3801X to develop a tiered storage array.
Maximum External Bandwidth
in a Low-Profile Adapter
The LSISAS3801X offers two x4 miniSAS 
external connectors, allowing unprecedented 
external throughput in a low-profile HBA.   
By reducing the height on this SAS card, 
integrators have greater flexibility to plug the 
LSISAS3801X into servers as thin as 2U, while 
unleashing 2400MB/s (4800MB/s full-duplex) 
throughput to external enclosures. 
SAS Connectivity from the Serial IO Experts
The LSISAS3801X is a part of the first generation  
of Serial Attached SCSI controllers.  Successful  
implementation of these serial adapters is  
effortless because of LSI experience and know-
how.  Having a supplier who fully understands 
the physical, electrical and protocol requirements  
of each new serial standard will reduce the time 
for system bring-up and offer greater flexibility 
in system topography.
LSI has supplied cutting edge serial technology 
to systems throughout the world for over six 
generations, making LSI the most experienced 
enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the 
world.  Integrators can be assured that their LSI 
adapter provides the most advanced and robust  
serial technology available in the market.
