Overview:
Industry’s First Hardware RAID adapter with Tri-Mode SerDes Technology
Broadcom enables high performance storage connectivity and fl exible system designs that support any combination of NVMe, SAS and SATA devices with the industry’s fi rst 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 benefi ts to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection that MegaRAID technology has off ered 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.
Endless design fl exibility using Tri-Mode Controllers
Broadcom’s Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables operation of NVMe, SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. A single controller can operate in all three modes concurrently servicing NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives. The controller negotiates between the 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. By upgrading to a Tri-Mode controller, users can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to other system confi gurations.
