Low-profile half-length PCIe card with 16 external ports

Broadcom

Broadcom 05-50118-00 9600 Series 24G PCIe 4.0 RAID controller 16 external ports

SKU CH-G9JD-XDBGH MPN 05-50118-00

PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID controller with 16 external ports supporting 240 SAS or SATA devices and 32 NVMe drives

  • Supports 240 SAS/SATA or 32 NVMe drives
  • PCIe 4.0 x8 delivers 24 Gb/s bandwidth
  • Low-profile half-length design fits dense servers
  • Hardware Secure Boot plus SPDM attestation protects firmware
  • SafeStore key management secures self-encrypting drives

Low-profile PCIe 4.0 RAID adapter

The Broadcom 05-50118-00 is a 9600 Series 24G controller that installs in an x8 PCIe 4.0 slot. It provides 16 external ports for connecting storage devices in server and workstation environments. The half-length, low-profile form factor fits dense chassis where full-height cards cannot be used. Hardware Secure Boot and SPDM Attestation support help protect the firmware supply chain.

Suits admins attaching many external drives

This card serves administrators who need to connect large numbers of SAS or SATA drives, or NVMe devices, through external cabling. It supports up to 240 SAS or SATA devices and up to 32 NVMe devices across its ports. SafeStore key management handles encryption for attached self-encrypting drives. Builders who require internal connectors only, or who need a different port count, should consider other models.

16 external ports for high-density connectivity

The defining specification is the 16 external ports that enable high-density storage expansion. Each port operates at 24G speeds over the PCIe 4.0 interface. Universal Bay Management readiness allows integrated drive-status indication. SMART and drive-temperature monitoring provide ongoing health visibility for all attached devices.

Questions about this item

How often should the battery or cache module on the 05-50118-00 be checked or replaced?

The 9600 Series 24G adapter uses a supercapacitor-backed cache protection module that requires no scheduled battery replacement; inspect it during routine server maintenance cycles.

Which limit appears first when the 16 external ports run sustained 24G SAS workloads?

The x8 PCIe 4.0 host link caps aggregate throughput at roughly 16 GT/s, so the bus saturates before the 16 external ports or 240-device SAS/SATA fan-out do.

What heat and power load should I expect from the 05-50118-00 running all day in a low-profile slot?

The low-profile, half-length x8 PCIe 4.0 card draws auxiliary power through the slot connector; typical dissipation stays within standard server airflow limits for this form factor.
