Tri-Mode PCIe RAID Controllers
Industry’s First Hardware RAID adapter with
Tri-Mode SerDes Technology
Broadcom enables high performance storage connectivity and flexible system
designs that support any combination of NVMe, SAS and SATA devices
with the industry’s first hardware RAID adapter with Tri-Mode SerDes. The
MegaRAID 9400 series of adapters expands on the industry-leading family of
12Gb/s storage adapters from Broadcom with 8 and 16 port internal, external
and combination Tri-Mode port options.
NVMe Performance Gains for Storage
The MegaRAID Tri-Mode storage adapters bring NVMe performance benefits
to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection that
MegaRAID technology has offered for over 20 years for SAS/SATA interfaces.
Based on the dual-core SAS3516 or SAS3508 RAID on Chip (ROC) and
72-bit DDR4-2133 SDRAM, these controllers provide bandwidth and IOPS
performance increases compared to the previous generation and are ideal
for high-end servers utilizing internal storage or connecting to large-scale
external storage enclosures.
