BROADCOM LSI MegaRAID 9560-16i 05-50077-00 SAS3916 8GB PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID Controller Card

Manufacturer's description and specifications:

PCIe 4.0 RAID controller increases performance and maximizes design flexibility with Tri-Mode connectivity and NVMe devices.

The MegaRAID 9500 series is the industrys 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 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 9560-16i 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.
