Broadcom 9500-16i Tri-Mode HBA

The Broadcom 05-50077-02 is a PCIe 4.0 x8 host bus adapter built for enterprise data centres. It targets administrators who need high-port connectivity for mixed drive environments. The Tri-Mode design allows a single adapter to manage SAS, SATA and NVMe devices simultaneously.

16 internal ports with 1024 device support

The adapter provides 16 internal lanes and connects up to 1024 SAS or SATA drives. It also supports up to 32 NVMe devices directly through the same ports. Bandwidth scales with the PCIe 4.0 x8 host interface, so heavy multi-drive workloads will saturate the host link before the controller reaches its port limit.

Universal Bay Management ready

UBM support lets the adapter communicate with compliant backplanes for drive status and enclosure services. This simplifies hot-plug operations and LED management without extra cabling. No RAID firmware or cache accessories are included, so the card functions strictly as an HBA. Builders needing hardware RAID or onboard cache must choose a different model.

Questions about this item

Will the 9500-16i Tri-Mode adapter work with my existing SAS and SATA drives?

The controller connects up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices, so your current drives are supported without changes.

How can I confirm the PCIe 4.0 x8 link is active after installation?

Check the system BIOS or operating system device manager; it should report a PCIe 4.0 x8 connection for the 9500-16i.

Does the 05-50077-02 include cables for 16 internal ports or must I buy them separately?

The adapter provides 16 internal ports; cables are not included and must be purchased separately for your drive backplane.
