Overview

The adapters, based on the SAS3916, SAS3908, SAS3816, or SAS3808 tri-mode controller, are high-performance
PCIe-to-SATA/SAS/PCIe (tri-mode) storage adapters. Broadcom tri-mode SerDes technology enables operation of
SAS, SATA, or PCIe (NVMe) storage devices in a single drive bay. A single controller can operate in all three modes
concurrently: SAS, SATA, and PCIe/NVMe. The adapters negotiate between the speeds and the protocols to recognize
and concurrently interface with these three storage devices types.
The adapters provide the following storage interface data transfer rates:
•
SAS data transfer rates of 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s, and 3Gb/s per phy
•
SATA transfer rates at 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s per phy
•
PCIe (NVMe) data transfer rates of 16 GT/s, 8 GT/s, 5 GT/s, and 2.5 GT/s per lane
The following tables summarize key adapter features.
