Review: Sometimes affordable LSI HBA card - I'm going to keep this brief because I'm kind of disappointed with the on going hype around the SAS2008 for raid and IT mode drives. This card gets hot just setting there with nothing plugged in. Flashing to IT mode in 2023 is a PITA. There's no really a recent or single place to go, and everyone throws their 2 cents on details like, "You must use the oldest, earlier version of file , trust me". EFI shell boot off a USB stick was a nightmare to get working on my server (yes, I put all the correct files in /efi/boot and /boot/efi), and after a weekend of messing around with a $160 card, I decided against using it because of the heat this thing pumps out. I switched to a JMB585 SATA card that's 1/2 the size and little to no heat with perfectly fine 5 drive performance. The only thing I'll miss is that this has external SAS ports. I'm hosting my drives separately in a drive case with its own power. With the SATA card I have to run the cables outside the case, and there are no SATA cards with back plate ports. If you're looking to run TrueNAS then you might require a card like this, but otherwise, I found it to be unnecessary and a waste of time.

Compatibilité avec Proxmox Backup server. A fonctionné sans aucun problème ni besoin de trifouiller les drivers. ### ⭐ Card seems defective *by V***N on 14 December 2023* The card arrived promptly. in a sealed box. I checked firmware on it and was current. Unfortunately when i tried using the card it proved problematic. It would hang going into ROM config utility. it would also only see some of the drives. Os kernel was reporting firmware issues. i confirmed that my cables are fine using a different card. I spent much time testing the card on multiple servers and they all experienced issues. Ended up returning it and buying LSI Broadcom version ## Frequently Bought Together - External PCI Express SAS/SATA HBA, SAS2008 Chip, X8, 6Gb/s, Same as 9200-8E - 10Gtek® 12G External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 Cable, 1.5-Meter(4.9ft) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/51718809-10gtek-external-pci-express-sas-sata-hba-sas2008-chip-x8](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/51718809-10gtek-external-pci-express-sas-sata-hba-sas2008-chip-x8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
