MegaRAID 9540-8i

Ensure data protection for performance-hungry applications in high-end servers utilizing PCIe 4.0 and a mix of internal SAS or SATA storage devices

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 9540-8i adapter, based on the SAS3808 PCIe 4.0 x8 IO Controller (IOC) device, delivers twice the performance of previous generations.

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) deploying entry-level server platforms and workstations need affordable, reliable storage solutions. The MegaRAID 9540-8i Tri-Mode Storage Adapter is a PCIe Gen 4.0 12Gb/s SAS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) controller card that addresses these needs by delivering proven performance and RAID data protection for a range of critical applications.

The adapters Tri-Mode SerDes technology negotiates between speeds and protocols to seamlessly to enablethe operation of NVMe, SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay getting the most performance and flexibility out of any drive protocol.

Key Features Include: ·Connect up to 32 SAS/SATA devices ·Balance protection and performance for critical applications with RAID 0, 1, 10 ·Support critical, high-bandwidth applications with PCIe 4.0 connectivity ·Advanced security through hardware secure boot
