MegaRAID 9560-16i
PCIe 4.0 RAID controller increases performance and maximizes design
flexibility with Tri-Mode connectivity and NVMe devices
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 9560-16i adapter, based on the SAS3916 high-port count
PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC), delivers twice the performance of
previous generations.
The 9560-16i 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 9560-16i 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.
Key Features Include:
Connect up to 240 SAS/SATA devices or 24 NVMe 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 PCIe 4.0
connectivity
Balance protection and performance for critical applications with
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60
JBOD mode with RAID 0, 1, 10 and JBOD for SDS environments
Add more protection and peace of mind with CacheVault flash cache
