Broadcom LSI 9500-8i Tri-Mode Internal HBA Storage Controller Card

Basic Parameter Table

Core Product Features

1. Original Broadcom entry-level internal tri-mode HBA card, SAS3808 control chip, compatible with SAS/SATA/NVMe three storage media, suitable for small NAS, workstation and mini storage server.
2. PCIe Gen4 x8 high-speed bus, single SFF-8643 internal connector, expands up to 8 internal hard disks, supports mixed deployment of mechanical hard disks and U.2 NVMe solid-state drives.
3. 12G high-speed SAS bandwidth, backward compatible with 6G SATA, stable low-latency data transmission for small virtualization and backup storage nodes.
4. Full DDM real-time monitoring function, independently read transmit/receive optical power, module temperature and supply voltage for storage equipment daily O&M.
5. Compact hot-swappable PCIe housing, fanless passive heat dissipation design, low noise, stable long-term operation in small chassis without additional cooling fans.
6. Supports IT pass-through mode (ZFS/TrueNAS/unified virtual storage) and IR hardware RAID mode (RAID0/1/10), flexible deployment for different storage scenarios.
