The Mega RAID 9500 series is the industry\'s first PCIe Gen 4. 0 RAID adapter family, offering PCIe Gen 4. 0 host and storage interfaces. The Mega RAID 9560-8i adapter, based on the SAS3908 high-port count PCIe 4. 0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (Ro C),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 Ser Des 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 Ser Des 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. 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 Cache Vault flash cache protection
