Product Overview

BROADCOM 9560-8I Megaraid 12gb/s Sas/sata/pcie Gen 4.0 (nvme) Tri-mode Raid Controller.

Overview The 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 9560-8I Adapter, Based On The Sas3908 High-port Count Pcie 4.0 X8 Raid-on-chip (roc), Delivers Twice The Performance Of Previous Generations.

The 9560-8I 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 9560-8I 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 Framework.
  
  With 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.
