Supermicro Backplane with LSI 3108 RAID for X10/X11 FatTwin – BPN-ADP-8S3108-1UF is a purpose-built enterprise storage adapter module designed for high-density Supermicro FatTwin server architectures. This integrated backplane/adapter combines 12Gb/s SAS-3 connectivity with a powerful Broadcom / Avago LSI SAS 3108 hardware RAID controller, delivering high performance, reliability, and advanced RAID protection for internal drive bays.
Engineered specifically for Supermicro X10 and X11 FatTwin rear I/O motherboards, the BPN-ADP-8S3108-1UF supports up to 8 internal SAS or SATA drives via dual Mini-SAS HD connectors, enabling fast data throughput while maintaining backward compatibility with 6Gb/s devices. The integrated RAID engine supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, making it ideal for virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and mission-critical storage workloads.
The adapter connects through a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and includes a TFM (Transportable Flash Module) port for cache protection, ensuring data integrity during power loss. Its proprietary form factor is optimized for internal mounting within Supermicro FatTwin nodes, providing a clean, space-efficient storage solution.
