Broadcom MegaRAID 9460-8i 2G 12G SAS/SATA/NVMe RAID Card

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 industryleading family of 12Gb/s storage adapters from Broadcom with 8 and 16 ports of internal, external, and combination Tri-Mode port options.

NVMe Performance Gains for Storage 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 using internal storage or connecting to largescale external storage enclosures.
