Innocard GD9805A SlimSAS 8i to U.3 Dual Port Adapter

SKU CH-F8PX-7K2CS

Connects two U.3 drives to a SlimSAS 8i port with 12V hot-plug power and eFuse protection for Broadcom 95xx tri-mode adapters

  • Adapter typeSlimSAS 8i to U.3 Daul port Adapter
  • Product colorBlack
  • Converts SlimSAS 8i to dual U.3 ports
  • Built-in 12 V hot-plug power with eFuse protection
  • Programmable 6.5 A current limit and inrush slew-rate control
  • Compliant with PCIe 4.0, NVM Express 1.4 and SFF-8654 Rev 1.2
  • Supports Broadcom 95xx MegaRAID and HBA Tri-Mode adapters

Adapter purpose and audience

The Innocard GD9805A connects a SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) interface to two U.3 (SFF-8639) ports. It is built for integrators deploying Broadcom 95xx PCIe 4.0 MegaRAID or HBA Tri-Mode storage adapters in server environments.

Use-case fit and limits

This adapter suits builders who need dual U.3 NVMe drive connections from a single SlimSAS 8i port with hot-plug power management. It does not suit users requiring direct M.2, U.2 or OCuLink interfaces, or those without a compatible Broadcom Tri-Mode controller.

Decisive specification

The adapter implements SFF-9402 Rev1.1 pin-out on the SlimSAS 8i side and provides dual 12 V hot-plug circuits with 6.5 A programmable current limit and eFuse protection per U.3 port.

Questions about this item

What is the programmable current limit on the 12 V hot-plug power circuits?

The on-board eFuse protection is set to a programmable current limit of 6.5 A per U.3 port.

How much heat and noise does the adapter add when running continuously?

The passive board has no fan and draws power only for the eFuse and SMBus buffer, so it adds negligible heat and zero acoustic noise.

Which controller cards is this adapter designed to work with?

It is built for Broadcom 95xx PCIe 4.0 MegaRAID and HBA Tri-Mode storage adapters using the SlimSAS 8i interface.
