LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9580-8I8E PCIe 4.0 12Gb/s RAID Adapter with 8GB Cache

The LSI Logic MegaRAID 9580-8I8E is a high-performance PCIe Gen 4.0 RAID adapter from the MegaRAID 9500 series. Based on the SAS3916 high-port count PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip (RoC), this adapter delivers twice the performance of previous generations. It is compatible with existing PCIe SFF-8639 Module (U.2) backplanes, boosting performance for high-bandwidth environments. Featuring Tri-Mode SerDes technology, the MegaRAID 9580-8I8E can operate concurrently with NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives, seamlessly negotiating speeds and protocols. This provides a non-disruptive way to evolve existing data center infrastructure and is instrumental in maximizing performance and flexibility from U.3 backplanes.

Key Features:
* SFF-TA-10001 Specification (U.3) for common bay type (SAS, SATA, NVMe)
* Universal Backplane Management (UBM) for common backplane control and management
* Connect up to 240 SAS/SATA devices or 24 NVMe devices per controller
* Fits into rack-mounted servers with low-profile form factor and side-mounted SAS connectors
