Your storage is sitting idle because the bus can't keep up. The 440-16i gives your ThinkSystem server a direct 16-port SAS/SATA connection at 12Gb over PCIe Gen4. No RAID overhead. Just raw throughput to every drive you've got mounted. Fits ThinkSystem servers with a free PCIe Gen4 slot. If your current HBA is bottlenecking backups or database writes, this is the card that clears the queue
