PCIe 4.0 RAID controller increases performance and maximizes design flexibility with Tri-Mode connectivity and NVMe 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 9560-16i adapter, based on the SAS3916 high-port count PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC), delivers twice the performance of previous generations.

The 9560-16i 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 9560-16i is instrumental in getting the most performance and flexibility out of U.3 backplanes:

- SFF-TA-10001 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.

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.

The MegaRAID 9600 series is the third generation of Broadcom’s industry leading Tri-Mode x8 and x16 NVMe/SAS/SATA storage adapters. Designed to deliver the best possible performance for NVMe SSD-based storage systems, the 9600 family delivers 2x the bandwidth, over 4x the IOPs, 25x reduction in write latency, and 60x increase in performance during rebuilds over the previous generation.

The MegaRAID 9670W-16i based on the SAS4116W RAID-on-Chip (RoC) delivers more than 4x increase in RAID5 Random Write Ops and twice the bandwidth over the previous generation. The 9670W-16i’s advanced thermal solution enables these major performance enhancements without increasing airflow requirements when compared to previous generation adapters. Users can incorporate the 9670W-16i into existing platforms to enable breakthrough SSD performance without burdening the system with additional cooling and airflow requirements.

SmartRAID 3254-16i /e
24G SAS/SATA/NVMe PCIe Gen 4 RAID Adapter

The Adaptec® SmartRAID 3254-16i /e RAID adapter offers maximum performance with SAS/SATA/NVMe tri-mode functionality for server OEM, storage systems, data center, and enterprise customers than previous generations.

Built on Microchip's proven 5th generation SmartROC 3200 storage controller, the SmartRAID 3254-16i /e supports a x8 PCIe Gen 4 host interface with 16 media facing port variants for internal Tri-mode connectivity. New technologies available with the SmartRAID 3200 family includes DirectPath, which integrates a PCIe switch for the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth NVMe solution and Microchip's Dynamic Channel Multiplexing (DCM) technology that aggregates expander attached SAS or SATA hard drives onto 24G SAS infrastructure with near 100% link efficiency for unparalleled through-put. Native HBA modes for all media types are also supported, which offers the lowest latency for memory-based PCIe storage.

SmartRAID 3200 adapters include Microchip’s Trusted Platform support which delivers a new level of compute and supply chain security based on a hardware root of trust that is aligned with the Open Compute Security Project. For additional layers of security, Microchip has now expanded on its unique Adaptec maxCrypto Controller-Based Encryption (CBE) solution to support SAS, SATA, and now NVMe media, and also supports Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management software.

The SmartRAID 3200 RAID adapters also support both Intel® Virtual Pin Port (VPP) for intelligent backplane management and SFF's Universal Backplane Management (UBM) standards to simplify integration and enhance product flexibility for system integrators. Also supported are industry leading storage management including standards-based Platform Level Data Model (PLDM)/Redfish® Device Enablement (RDE) to simplify integration and and Microchip's ChipLink Diagnostic Tool with signal integrity analysis and context sensitive documentation to accelerate time to market.
