Broadcom 9600-16i Tri-Mode 24G SAS RAID controller 05-50111-00

SKU CH-33VJ-D420E MPN 05-50111-00

Tri-Mode RAID controller with two SFF-8654 connectors supporting up to 240 SAS/SATA or 32 NVMe drives via PCIe 4.0 x8

  • Supports up to 240 SAS/SATA drives for massive storage capacity
  • Connects 32 NVMe devices for high-speed solid-state performance
  • Tri-Mode 24G SAS handles SAS, SATA and NVMe through one controller
  • Two SFF-8654 SlimSAS ports with x8 PCIe 4.0 interface
  • Low-profile half-length design fits space-constrained server chassis

9600-16i Tri-Mode RAID Controller

The Broadcom 9600-16i is a low-profile, half-length x8 PCIe 4.0 adapter designed for server storage expansion. It provides 16 internal lanes through two SFF-8654 SlimSAS connectors, supporting SAS, SATA and NVMe protocols simultaneously.

Servers needing mixed drive support

This card suits administrators who want to connect up to 240 SAS or SATA devices or 32 NVMe drives through a single slot. It is not for systems that lack a Gen 4.0 x8 slot, builds requiring external port brackets, or deployments without Secure Boot and SPDM attestation support.

24 Gb/s Tri-Mode throughput

The controller delivers 24 Gb/s per lane across SAS, SATA and NVMe devices, with hardware Secure Boot, SMART monitoring, drive temperature sensing and SafeStore key management for self-encrypting drives. Universal Bay Management readiness simplifies enclosure integration.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 9600-16i draw when running continuously?

The card is a low-profile PCIe 4.0 x8 adapter without an onboard fan, so it relies on chassis airflow and adds minimal heat to the server.

What cables are needed to connect drives to the two SFF-8654 ports?

Each SlimSAS connector carries four lanes; you need SFF-8654 to SFF-8654 or SFF-8654 to U.2/U.3 cables matching your backplane.

Will the controller recognise SAS and SATA drives already installed in an older backplane?

Yes, the Tri-Mode firmware supports up to 240 SAS or SATA devices alongside 32 NVMe drives on the same ports.
