PCIe 4.0 x8 RAID controller with 8GB cache

The Broadcom MegaRAID 05-50134-00 is a hardware RAID controller that installs in a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 slot. It provides two x8 SFF-8654 internal connectors and 8GB of cache memory for write-back acceleration. The board measures 6.13" x 2.72" and fits low-profile server chassis.

For arrays up to 240 SAS/SATA or 24 NVMe drives

This card suits administrators building large direct-attached storage arrays that need hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 plus CacheVault flash protection. It also supports JBOD mode for software-defined storage stacks. Buyers who only need simple HBA passthrough or a single-drive boot device should consider a non-RAID alternative.

8GB cache with CacheVault flash backup

The 8GB onboard cache enables high-throughput write-back operation, and the integrated CacheVault module protects cached data during unexpected power loss. This specification determines whether the controller meets the durability requirement for mission-critical workloads.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the MegaRAID 05-50134-00 is operating correctly after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST for the 8GB cache detection and confirm the two x8 SFF-8654 ports show linked at 12Gb/s SAS or Gen 4.0 PCIe NVMe speeds.

What ships with the 05-50134-00 and what must I source separately?

The controller includes a low-profile bracket; you must purchase SFF-8654 cables that match your backplane or drive cage.

Which MegaRAID variant suits my workload — the 8GB cache model or a different capacity?

The 05-50134-00 provides 8GB cache and supports up to 240 SAS/SATA or 24 NVMe devices; choose it when you need that capacity ceiling and CacheVault flash protection.
