Brand New LSI 9201-16e LSI00276 HBA $24.50!

[Brent Geery]

I don't know how they are doing it, but LSI LSI00276 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS 9201-16e Host Bus Adapter Single Pack--Avago Technologies - Newegg.com has brand new LSI 9201-16e LSI00276 HBAs for $24.50 (3rd party seller.) I just received my pair, and they are new and sealed in antistatic bags. Card only, no cables or anything else. That's cheaper than what most used cards sell for on eBay.

EDIT: They are also avalable at $26, from the same seller, on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00487AYQQ/

Call me suspicious, but a new member with a single post, providing a link to a seller, there's a wee bell in my head ringing right now...

I agree though, if those are genuine, that's a great price for them

It has changed the price within the past 7 minutes?

Dude, I signed up to post this deal, but I use my real name, so google me if you feel the need. But, I get it.

My guess is they are NOS that they picked up at a bankruptcy auction, or something like that. Anyway, I got the two I needed, and thought the pointer might help others.

That's what charge-backs are for!

Just checked, and it's still $24.50. Been that way for at least a month.

Crazy. I'm in for 2 as well. Thanks Brent.

Arhh, I need to change my locale to US. Thanks!

As with all the other LSI cards on eBay that you have fakes for, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a cloned -e card.
Surefire way to check is to call LSI up with the serial number and have them verify it and the product that it's assigned to (if it's a valid number).
More then often it will end up being fake, but you might get lucky.
Do note it's sold by a 3rd party seller on NewEgg and not sold directly by NewEgg.

Just don't use them for critical applications!

I bought this card from this seller last time around. Ironically have only been using it for a couple of weeks now. No issues, cross-flashed to IT mode easily as any other. I would buy again if I needed one.

They are being sold on Amazon too from the same company for $26.

I bought one via amazon.

Amusingly enough, I've been idly looking for a SF-8088 HBA for a while recently, since I picked up some 4-bay drive caddies that I'd like to turn into a external DAS. Convenient!
