    HBA Tri-Mode Storage Adapters PCIe (NVMe) Support The following table shows how many NVMe drives or Broadcom PEX88000-series switches can directly attach to each adapter. The HBA 9500-16e and HBA 9500-8e adapters do not support direct attach to NVMe drives. The expected topology for the HBA 9500-16e and HBA 9500-8e adapters is a typical JBOF scenario that uses a switch to connect the NVMe drives.
