Broadcom MegaRAID 9520-8i (05-50134-25)

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 9520-8i adapter, based on the SAS3808 PCIe 4.0 x8 IO Controller (IOC) device, delivers twice the performance of previous generations.

Leveraging the MegaRAID iMR entry RAID firmware, the 9520-8i supports JBOD mode, RAID 0, 1 and 10 without requiring the Reserved Memory Region Reporting (RMRR) structure. This means that upon startup, the 9520-8i does not claim host memory for the RAID functions and other background operations.

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) deploying entry-level server platforms and workstations need affordable, reliable storage solutions. The MegaRAID 9520-8i 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 enable the operation of NVMe, SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay getting the most performance and flexibility out of any drive protocol.
