Broadcom LSI 9400-8i PCIe3.1 Tri-Mode IT Pass-Through HBA Storage Adapter

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. Entry-level PCIe 3.1 IT-mode HBA card with SAS3408 chip, pure pass-through firmware, no built-in hardware RAID, perfectly compatible with open-source storage systems like TrueNAS, ZFS, Unraid.
2. PCIe 3.1 x8 bandwidth, dual SFF-8643 internal connectors, supports up to 8 internal hard drives, mixed compatible with SAS mechanical disks, SATA SSD and U.2 NVMe solid-state drives.
3. Tri-mode compatible architecture, backward compatible with 6G SATA, stable low-latency transmission for small NAS, workstations and mini virtualization storage nodes.
4. Fanless honeycomb passive heat sink design, low noise and high stability, suitable for long-term 24/7 operation of compact small chassis without extra cooling fans.
5. Complete DOM digital diagnostic monitoring, supports real-time reading of transmit/receive optical power, board temperature and voltage for daily storage equipment O&M.
6. Only IT mode available, avoids RAID array lock conflicts with software storage, cost-effective for personal NAS and small office storage expansion.
