storage adapters and enhanced HBA (eHBA) tri-mode storage adapters, based on the Broadcom PCIe 4.0, 24G SAS
tri‑mode controllers. This document contains the complete installation instructions and specifications for the following
tri‑mode storage adapters, referred to as adapters:
•
MegaRAID 9670W-16i
•
MegaRAID 9670-24i
•
MegaRAID 9660-16i
•
eHBA 9620-16i

eHBA 9600-8i8e
•
eHBA 9600W-16e
•
eHBA 9600-16e
The adapters, based on a 24G SAS tri-mode controller, are high-performance PCIe-to-SATA/SAS/PCIe (tri-mode) storage
adapters. Broadcom tri-mode SerDes technology enables operation of SAS, SATA, or PCIe (NVMe) storage devices in
a single drive bay. A single controller can operate in all three modes concurrently: SAS, SATA, and PCIe/NVMe. The
adapters negotiate between the speeds and the protocols to recognize and concurrently interface with these three storage
device types.
The adapters provide the following storage interface data transfer rates:
•
SAS data transfer rates of 22.5Gb/s, 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s, and 3Gb/s per phy
•
SAS data transfer rates of 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s, and 3Gb/s per phy
•
PCIe (NVMe) data transfer rates of 16 GT/s, 8 GT/s, 5 GT/s, and 2.5 GT/s per lane
The following tables summarize key adapter features.
