## Long description

The Broadcom MegaRAID 9540-8i is a Tri-Mode RAID adapter that supports PCIe Gen 4.0 host and storage interfaces and is based on the SAS3808 PCIe 4.0 x8 IO Controller. Designed for entry-level servers and workstations, the adapter provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and PCIe (NVMe) connectivity in a compact PCI Express x8 form factor, delivering improved performance and RAID data protection for small and medium business storage environments.
Advantages
The MegaRAID 9540-8i offers twice the performance of previous generations through its PCIe Gen 4.0 architecture and SAS3808 chipset. Tri-Mode SerDes technology enables negotiation between NVMe, SAS and SATA devices in the same drive bay, increasing flexibility and allowing mixed-protocol deployments. The adapter supports proven RAID levels and 12 Gbit/s transfer rates for reliable data protection and throughput in compact dimensions suitable for standard server and workstation chassis.
Suitable for
Entry-level and small business servers
Workstations requiring RAID protection and mixed drive protocols
Storage expansions where PCIe Gen 4.0 throughput is required
Environments needing compact RAID controller solutions
