No setup, no drivers, nothing extra required software wise to make this work. It was an instant drop in adapter to let my SAS drives to their thing. Review: On IT Firmware, but not the latest version, easy fix, works great! - Using with Windows Server 2022 It doesnt seem to be on the lastest P16 firmware, but that is easily rectified by using IBM Megaraid to update from Windows using the files from FreeNAS/TrueNAS (Google it). This is an important thing to do as I had continual disconnections of SATA-based devices until I installed it. It runs a bit hot, but I screwed an 80mm fan into the heatsing and it runs nice and cool. A good value. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B23S57ZS | | Best Sellers Rank | #12 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | LSI | | Compatible Devices | Server, Storage Device | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | SAS | | Item Weight | 9 Ounces | | Manufacturer | LSI | | Model Number | 9300-16i | | Operating System | ZFS TrueNAS, unRAID | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LSI - **Compatible Devices:** Server, Storage Device - **Hardware Interface:** SAS - **Item Weight:** 9 Ounces - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS Controller HBA Card with P16 IT Mode for ZFS TrueNAS unRAID - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PVjIpXU-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the card flashed to IT mode before shipping?

A good value. ### ⭐ Over heating and failure *by M***Y on December 11, 2025* Card was working fine for first 3 months, then overheated (reached 99.0c during a restripe) and corrupted my raid6. Now i am getting constant i/o issues and my connected hard drives are continuously dropping under load. Works fine for light use, but gets very hot under larger read/write tasks. ## Frequently Bought Together - LSI 9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS Controller HBA Card with P16 IT Mode for ZFS TrueNAS unRAID - OIKWAN Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8643 to SATA Forward Breakout Compatible with Raid Controller Hard Drive (3.3ft) - 10Gtek MiniSAS HD SFF-8643 Breakout to 4xSATA Cable, for Server JBOD/Storage Tray & SAS RAID Controller Compatibility, 0.5m(1.6ft) --- ## 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.tn/products/448198864-9300-16i-16-port-12gb-s-sas-controller-hba-card](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/448198864-9300-16i-16-port-12gb-s-sas-controller-hba-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
