Broadcom MegaRAID 9560-16i RAID controller PCI Express x8 4.0 12 Gbit

PCIe 4.0 RAID controller increases performance and maximizes design flexibility with Tri-Mode connectivity and NVMe devicesThe MegaRAID 9500 series is the industry’s first PCIe Gen 4.0 RAID adapter family. offering PCIe Gen 4.0 host and storage interfaces. The MegaRAID 9560-16i adapter. based on the SAS3916 high-port count PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC). delivers twice the performance of previous generations.The 9560-16i is compatible with existing PCIe SFF-8639 Module (U.2) backplanes. allowing users to boost performance for today’s ever increasing bandwidth environments. Coupled with two industry initiatives expanding the deployment of Tri-Mode SerDes technology. which enables the operation of NVMe. SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay. the 9560-16i is instrumental in getting the most performance and flexibility out of U.3 backplanes:- SFF-TA-10001 Specification (U.3). which defines a common bay type for SAS. SATA and NVMe- Universal Backplane Management (UBM). which defines a common backplane control and management frameworkWith Tri-Mode SerDes technology. the adapter negotiates between speeds and protocols to seamlessly work with any of the three types of storage devices. Tri-Mode support provides a non-disruptive way to evolve existing data center infrastructure.
