OEM like LSI/Dell/HP?Out of curiosity has anyone seen any OEM 16i or 24i cards. While flipping through the list I just realized I've only ever seen OEM cards for up to 8i.
Can someone sanity check me?
If so, there are plenty of LSI/Avago cards featuring 16 internal ports.
For 3rd gen parts, you have:
LSI 9300-16i (SAS 3008)
LSI 9305-16i (SAS 3216)
LENOVO 530-16i (9440-16i)
For 3.5 gen parts, you have:
LENOVO 930-16i
LENOVO 930-24i
LSI 9400-16i
LSI 9405W-16i
LSI 9460-16i
Going back to the 2nd gen LSI parts, you have:
LSI 9201-16i (SAS 2118)
LSI 9260-16i (SAS2108)
LSI 9260-24i (SAS2108)
LSI 9280-16i (SAS 2108)
LSI 9280-24i (SAS2108)
There's probably a few more.
Usually, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Intel, Quanta and Supermicro etc. all source cards based on these chipsets and just rebrand and rename them for their own.
