The MegaRAID 9500series is the industrys first PCIe Gen 4.0RAID adapter family, offering PCIe Gen 4.0host and storage interfaces. The MegaRAID 9560-8i adapter, based on the SAS3908high-port count PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC), delivers twicethe performance of previous generations. The 9560-8i is compatible with existing PCIe SFF-8639 Module (U.2) backplanes, allowing users to boost performance for todays 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), whichdefines a common bay type for SAS, SATA and NVMe Universal Backplane Management(UBM), whichdefines 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. Key Features Include: Connect up to 240 SAS/SATA devices or 32NVMe devices per controller Fits into rack-mounted servers with low-profile form factor and side-mounted SAS connectors Form-factor friendly cable exit Support critical, high-bandwidth applications with PCIe4.0 connectivity Balance protection and performance for critical applications with RAID 0, 00, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50and 60 JBOD mode with RAID 0, 1, 10 and JBOD for SDS environments Add more protection and peace of mind with CacheVault flash cache protection
