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:
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.
The LSI 9560-8i RAID controller card is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 x8 SAS3908 controller optimized for demanding storage applications. Featuring 8 internal SAS ports, it supports up to 480 drives and speeds of up to 12Gbps per port. The advanced LSI MegaRAID technology delivers best-in-class storage performance and features like RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 as well as pass-through modes. It is ideal for mission-critical servers, virtualization, and other data-intensive workloads requiring maximum throughput and IOPS. Setup is easy with the intuitive MegaRAID storage manager.
