Broadcom LSI 9440‑8i PCIe3.1 Tri‑Mode MegaRAID Hardware RAID Controller Card

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. Entry‑level internal MegaRAID hardware‑RAID card based on SAS3408 chip, pre‑flashed with IR‑mode firmware, supports hardware‑based RAID array functions without relying on system‑side software RAID.
2. PCIe 3.1 x8 bus bandwidth, dual SFF‑8643 internal ports, expand up to 8 internal drives, compatible with SAS HDD, SATA SSD and U.2 NVMe drives for mixed‑storage setups.
3. Tri‑mode compatible architecture, supports 12G high‑speed SAS, legacy 6G SATA and NVMe solid‑state disks, applicable for small business servers, workstation redundant storage.
4. Supported RAID levels: RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, RAID50; provides data redundancy to guard against single‑disk failure for critical business data.
5. Fan‑free honeycomb‑style passive heat sink, low‑noise design, stable for 24‑7 continuous operation inside compact server chassis.
6. Equipped with DDM diagnostic monitoring; manage RAID groups, check drive health status, perform firmware upgrades via MegaRAID / StorCLI tool for daily IT‑system maintenance. Can also be re‑flashed to pure IT‑mode for NAS pass‑through use.

Application Scenarios

• Small‑business file & OA servers requiring hardware‑RAID data redundancy
• Design workstations with 8‑bay internal redundant storage arrays
