CEACENT CS3008R is a PCI Express 3.0 * 8 eight port HBA hard disk expansion card independently developed by CEACENT based on the LSI SAS3008 main control scheme. At the same time, the adapter automatically negotiates backward compatibility with previous SAS and PCI-E;
This HBA hard drive expansion card adopts two external interface SFF8643 channel type connectors, which can directly connect and expand up to 8 hard drives, and provides SAS data transfer rates of 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s, and 3 Gb/s per channel, as well as SATA data transfer rates of 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s per channel.

The CEACENT CS3008R adapter series offers integrated RAID support (covering RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, and 10). By simplifying configuration options and providing IR firmware support for their 6Gb/s SAS host adapters, these integrated RAID solutions offer a cost-effective option for the server and workstation markets, especially for applications that require additional performance, storage capacity, and RAID redundancy configuration.
