Liitäntäkortti Broadcom 9400-16i sisäinen SAS SATA

The Broadcom 9400-16i is a low-profile internal interface card for high-end servers, providing SAS and SATA connectivity over a PCIe host interface. Designed for data center flexibility, the adapter increases bandwidth and IOPS versus earlier generations while remaining compact (155.7 mm × 68.9 mm) and power-efficient (11.95 W). It supports large-scale storage configurations and is built for continuous operation with an MTBF of 4,500,000 hours.

Advantages

The 9400-16i delivers improved bandwidth and IOPS performance compared to previous models, enabling higher throughput for critical applications. It offers broad connectivity options, supporting many SAS/SATA devices and NVMe endpoints, and leverages PCIe 3.1 to provide consistent host-bandwidth. Its low-profile form factor and internal design make it suitable for diverse server platforms while keeping power consumption low.
