Questions & Answers
What is the 05-25704-00 (9305-16e) PCIe SAS adapter?
The 05-25704-00 is an LSI 9305-16e PCIe 3.0 x8 SAS host bus adapter that provides two external Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports supporting up to 16 SAS/SATA lanes.
Which PCIe generation and lane configuration does this adapter use?
It uses PCIe 3.0 with an x8 lane configuration, delivering up to 7.88 GB/s of bidirectional throughput.
How many drives can I connect to the 9305-16e adapter?
You can connect up to 16 SAS or SATA drives using two external Mini-SAS HD ports, each supporting eight lanes.
Is the adapter compatible with SATA devices?
Yes. The 9305-16e supports both SAS and SATA drives, enabling mixed-drive environments without performance loss.
What operating systems are supported by this HBA?
It offers broad OS support including Windows Server, Linux (RHEL, CentOS, SUSE), VMware ESXi, and FreeBSD with vendor-provided drivers.
Does the card include a low-profile bracket?
Yes. The package includes both standard and low-profile brackets for compatibility with full-height and low-profile chassis.
What cables are required to connect drives to this adapter?
Use SFF-8644 to SFF-8087 or SFF-8644 to SATA breakout cables to connect SAS or SATA drives to the Mini-SAS HD ports.
Does the 9305-16e require an external power source?
No external power is required; it draws all necessary power directly from the PCIe slot.
What is the typical latency of this SAS HBA?
The adapter delivers ultra-low latency under 10 microseconds for SAS workloads, ensuring high I/O performance.
How do I install firmware or update drivers?
Download the latest firmware and drivers from the manufacturer’s support website, then use the MegaRAID CLI or ASM utility for installation.
What form factor and materials are used?
The card features a low-profile aluminum heatsink in black with green accenting for optimal cooling and durability.
Does this adapter support RAID?
No. The 9305-16e is a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) for pass-through connectivity; it does not provide hardware RAID.
What cooling requirements does the SAS adapter have?
It relies on chassis airflow; ensure at least 200 LFM of front-to-back airflow for stable operation in high-density environments.
How can I monitor drive health on this HBA?
Use the vendor’s MegaRAID Storage Manager or CLI to view SMART stats, temperature, and link status in real time.
What warranty does the 05-25704-00 include?
It includes a limited three-year warranty covering hardware defects and firmware updates.
What LED indicators are available on the 9305-16e?
Each Mini-SAS port has activity and link LEDs: green for link status and amber for drive activity.
