Today's data center,cloud and high-performance computing environments not only require large amounts of storage capacity,they also must provide the data protection and performance that their applications and end users demand. The MegaRAID 9460-8i Tri-Mode storage adapter is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) controller card that addresses these needs by delivering proven flexibility,performance and RAID data protection for a range of server storage applications.
Broadcom's Tri-Mode SerDes technology enables the operation of NVMe,SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay,allowing for endless design flexibility.

Product Features
- NVMe performance gains for storage
- The MegaRAID Tri-Mode storage adapters bring NVMe performance benefits to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection that MegaRAID technology has offered for over 20 years for SAS/SATA interfaces. Based on the dual-core SAS3516 or SAS3508 RAID on Chip (ROC) and 72-bit DDR4-2133 SDRAM,these controllers provide bandwidth and IOPS performance increases compared to the previous generation and are ideal for high-end servers utilizing internal storage or connecting to large-scale external storage enclosures.
- Endless design flexibility using Tri-Mode controllers
- Broadcom's Tri-Mode SerDes technology enables operation of NVMe,SAS,or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. A single controller can operate in all three modes concurrently servicing NVMe,SAS,or SATA drives. The controller negotiates between the 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. By upgrading to a Tri-Mode controller,users can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to other system configurations.
