The Dell HBA355e Adapter Low Profile (1KH9T) is a high-performance 12Gbps SAS Host Bus Adapter designed specifically for connecting external storage enclosures in enterprise environments. Featuring four external Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports and a compact low-profile form factor, this card delivers fast and reliable data transfer for demanding workloads. Built on a PCIe Gen4 x8 interface, the HBA355e ensures maximum throughput for applications requiring high-bandwidth and low-latency storage connectivity. It supports both 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA drives in JBOD mode, making it ideal for software-defined storage solutions such as VMware vSAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, and ZFS. Unlike RAID controllers, the HBA355e provides direct passthrough access to drives without onboard cache or hardware RAID, offering a streamlined and flexible solution for environments that rely on software-based storage management. Compatible with Dell PowerVault ME4, MD1400, and other external SAS arrays, the Dell HBA355e is an essential component for scalable, high-availability storage architectures.
