Ensure data protection for performance-hungry applications in high-end servers utilizing PCIe 4. and a mix of internal SAS, SATA or NVMe storage devices
The MegaRAID 95 series is the industry’s first PCIe Gen 4. RAID adapter family, offering PCIe Gen 4. host and storage interfaces. The MegaRAID 956-8i adapter, based on the SAS398 high-port count PCIe 4. x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC), delivers twice the performance of previous generations.
The 956-8i 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 956-8i is instrumental in getting the most performance and flexibility out of U.3 backplanes:
- SFF-TA-11 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.
- Connect up to 24 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. connectivity
- Balance protection and performance for critical applications with RAID , 1, 5, 6, 1, 5 and 6
- JBOD mode with RAID , 1, 1 and JBOD for SDS environments
- Add more protection and peace of mind with CacheVault flash cache protection
