Description
Broadcom MegaRAID 9562-16i 16-Port PCIe Gen4 x8 Tri-Mode OCP 3.0 SFF Hardware RAID Controller
Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 05-50137-00
Optimize your enterprise deployment and scale up computing density with the Broadcom MegaRAID 9562-16i OCP 3.0 SFF Tri-Mode RAID Controller. Engineered specifically to comply with the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 Small Form Factor (SFF) specification, this premium mezzanine controller allows hyperscale data centers, cloud infrastructure networks, and modern multi-node GPU platforms to implement secure hardware storage pools without occupying standard PCIe slots.
Powered by the revolutionary Broadcom SAS3916 dual-core RAID-on-Chip (RoC) processor, the MegaRAID 9562-16i features an integrated 4GB high-speed DDR4 SDRAM cache buffer. This hardware profile guarantees lightning-fast transactional IOPS speeds and advanced mission-critical data protection, natively running resilient parity configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 profiles. Utilizing advanced Tri-Mode SerDes technology, it allows the server backplane to host and balance high-speed NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSDs, enterprise 12Gb/s SAS drives, and traditional 6Gb/s SATA hard disks concurrently via a unified controller array.
Key Enterprise Features:
- OCP 3.0 Mezzanine SFF Profile: Hot-pluggable mezzanine card layout with a card-ejector Pull Tab, optimizing air flows and toolless servicing inside modern enterprise racks.
- Broadcom SAS3916 RoC Core: Powerful dual-core storage processor handles compute-heavy parity calculations for demanding read/write cloud databases.
- 4GB Integrated Cache Buffer: High-bandwidth onboard DDR4 memory completely stabilizes heavy random IOPS operations and random transactional data lines.
- 16 Internal Storage Ports: Equipped with internal high-density SlimSAS x8 (SFF-8654) connectors, natively backing up to 16 direct-attach storage drives or hundreds via expanders.
- Tri-Mode Storage Architecture: Run PCIe Gen4 NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives concurrently on the same controller bay to mix cold backup HDDs with ultra-fast AI caching NVMe SSDs.
