Supermicro AOC-S2308L-L8

The Supermicro AOC-S2308L-L8i is a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 8-port SAS/SATA HBA/RAID controller card based on the Broadcom/LSI SAS 2308 chipset. It is designed for enterprise storage connectivity, providing reliable attachment of multiple hard drives or SSDs in server and workstation environments. It supports 8 internal 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA ports via two Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors, enabling connections to up to 8 drives directly or many more through SAS expanders (up to ~63 devices depending on configuration). The card operates in RAID 0, 1, 10, and JBOD (IT/HBA mode), making it suitable for both hardware RAID setups and pass-through storage configurations. With a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface, it delivers high bandwidth for multi-drive arrays and is commonly used in NAS systems, virtualization hosts, and data center storage servers where stable, low-latency disk access is required.
