## Summary description

Brocade Broadcom 9540-2M2 is a hardware RAID controller with PCI Express x8 host interface supporting M.2 storage drives. It provides RAID levels 0 and 1 plus JBOD, enabling disk striping or mirroring and pass-through configurations. Suitable for servers and workstations requiring M.2 drive aggregation, data redundancy, or performance optimization.

## Long description

Brocade Broadcom 9540-2M2 is a hardware RAID controller designed for servers and workstations that require aggregation of M.2 drives, data redundancy or performance tuning. The card uses a PCI Express x8 host interface and the Broadcom second-generation PCIe Gen4 Tri-Mode SAS3808 I/O controller to support two M.2 NVMe or SATA drives. It supports RAID levels 0 and 1 as well as JBOD, allowing striped, mirrored or pass-through configurations and offering a dedicated boot solution with separate OS and data drive placement.
Advantages
The 9540-2M2 provides a compact, server-grade RAID solution that integrates with the Broadcom management tool suite for simplified configuration and monitoring. Its support for two M.2 drives enables separation of operating system and data volumes, improving boot reliability and simplifying maintenance. Hardware RAID offloads RAID processing from the host CPU and delivers predictable performance for striped or mirrored arrays, while JBOD mode preserves direct drive access when software or host-based control is required.
Suitable for
 Servers and workstations needing a compact RAID solution for M.2 NVMe or SATA drives
 Systems that require separate OS and data drives for boot reliability and management
 Environments needing RAID 0 striping for performance or RAID 1 mirroring for redundancy
 Setups that use JBOD for direct drive pass-through to host software
Key specifications
 Host interface: PCI Express x8 (PCIe Gen4 capable)
 Supported drive types: two M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA drives
 RAID levels: 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring) and JBOD (pass-through)
 I/O controller: Broadcom second-generation PCIe Gen4 Tri-Mode SAS3808
 Boot support: dedicated boot adapter functionality for OS drive separation
How to use
Install the RAID controller into an available PCIe x8 slot on a compatible motherboard and connect up to two M.2 drives into the on-board connectors following the server or workstation hardware guide. Configure drive mode and RAID level using the Broadcom unified management tools or the system BIOS/firmware where supported. Use RAID 0 to increase sequential performance by striping data across both M.2 drives, RAID 1 to mirror data for redundancy, or JBOD to expose each drive directly to the host. Ensure proper cooling and secure mounting of M.2 modules to maintain thermal and mechanical stability.
Usage recommendations
Choose RAID 1 when data integrity and availability are priorities; select RAID 0 only when maximizing performance is required and backups are in place. Keep firmware and Broadcom management tools up to date, and monitor drive health regularly to detect degraded arrays early. If separating OS and data drives, assign the OS to a dedicated M.2 slot to simplify recovery and maintenance procedures.
