Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables operation of NVMe, SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. All the 3 modes concurrently
serving NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives can be operated by a single controller. The controller negotiates between the speeds and protocols to
seamlessly work with any of the three types of storage devices. Tri-Mode support provides a non-disruptive way to evolve existing data
center infrastructure. By upgrading to a tri-mode controller, users can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to
other system configurations. The MegaRAID Tri-Mode storage adapters support both REFCLK and SRIS based NVMe x1, x2, and x4
devices.
