The 9600-24i Tri-Mode, PCIe Gen 4.0 enhanced HBA (eHBA) is ideal for increased connectivity and maximum performance for enterprise data center flexibility.

With increased bandwidth and IOPS performance compared to previous generations, the 9600-24i eHBA delivers the performance and scalability needed by critical applications.

• Low profile, half-length x8 PCIe Gen 4.0 adapter
• Connect up to 240 SAS/SATA devices or 32 NVMe devices
• Hardware Secure Boot and SPDM Attestation support
• SMART monitoring
• Drive temperature monitoring
• SafeStore key management for attached SEDs
• Universal Bay Management (UBM) Ready

AS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) Gen4 Tri-Mode storage adapters provides system and server OEMs and data centers with unprecedented flexibility and high performance at the lowest cost. Utilizing Broadcom’s Tri-Mode SerDes technology, the HBAs enable the operation of NVMe, SAS, or SATA devices in a single drive bay, allowing for endless design flexibility.

Based on the Broadcom SAS3816 and SAS3808 eight-lane host PCIe to SAS/SATA/PCIe IOC controllers, the 9500 series adapters are the first HBAs to offer both PCIe Gen 4.0 host and PCIe Gen 4.0 storage interfaces. PCIe Gen 4.0 enables these adapters for high bandwidth by delivering twice the bandwidth and 75% more IOPs.
