Broadcom SAS9500-8I is an 8-port, tri-mode HBA that supports SAS, SATA, and PCIe NVMe storage devices. It is designed to provide high-performance storage connectivity for servers, workstations, and storage systems. In this article, we will explain the features and benefits of the SAS9500-8I in simple English.
- SAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI. It is a high-speed interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer. SAS is designed to be backward compatible with SATA, which is a lower-speed interface used for connecting hard drives and solid-state drives to a computer.
- SATA stands for Serial ATA. It is a type of interface used for connecting hard drives and solid-state drives to a computer. SATA is slower than SAS, but it is less expensive and more widely used.
- PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. It is a high-speed interface used for connecting peripherals to a computer, including graphics cards, network cards, and storage devices.
- NVMe stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express. It is a protocol designed for accessing solid-state storage devices that use NAND flash memory. NVMe is faster than SATA and SAS, and it is becoming increasingly popular in high-performance storage systems.
- HBA stands for Host Bus Adapter. It is a type of hardware used for connecting a computer to a storage network. An HBA is used to transfer data between the computer and the storage devices. It is an essential component of a storage network.
- The SAS9500-8I is a tri-mode HBA, which means that it can support SAS, SATA, and PCIe NVMe storage devices. This makes it a versatile storage adapter that can be used in a wide range of applications.
- The SAS9500-8I has eight ports, which means that it can support up to eight storage devices. This makes it ideal for use in storage systems that require a high number of storage devices.
- The SAS9500-8I supports 12Gbps SAS and 6Gbps SATA. This means that it can provide fast data transfer rates for both SAS and SATA storage devices. The PCIe NVMe interface supports up to 16Gbps, which makes it faster than both SAS and SATA.
- The SAS9500-8I supports PCIe 3.0 x8, which means that it can provide high-speed connectivity to the computer. PCIe 3.0 x8 provides up to 8GB/s of bandwidth, which is faster than PCIe 2.0 x8.
- The SAS9500-8I supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID is a method of combining multiple storage devices into a single logical unit for the purposes of redundancy, performance, or both.
- The SAS9500-8I provides high-performance storage connectivity for servers, workstations, and storage systems. Its support for SAS, SATA, and PCIe NVMe storage devices makes it a versatile storage adapter that can be used in a wide range of applications.
- The SAS9500-8I's eight ports make it ideal for use in storage systems that require a high number of storage devices. Its support for 12Gbps SAS and 6Gbps SATA means that it can provide fast data transfer rates for both SAS and SATA storage devices.
- The SAS9500-8I's support for PCIe NVMe means that it can provide even faster data transfer rates for solid-state storage devices. PCIe NVMe is becoming increasingly popular in high-performance storage systems, and
