Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tri-Mode HBA 9500?
The Broadcom 9500 is a Tri-Mode HBA supporting NVMe, SAS, and SATA simultaneously—ideal for JBOD pass-through in mixed-drive servers using software RAID (ZFS, mdadm, Ceph).
How does 9500 differ from 9400?
9500 uses PCIe 4.0 with more port options (8i/8e/16i/16e) and higher NVMe bandwidth. 9400 uses PCIe 4.0 x8 with fewer ports.
Can 9500 do RAID?
No. 9500 is HBA pass-through only. For Tri-Mode RAID, use 9460/9560.
What port configurations are available?
9500-8i, 9500-8e, 9500-16i, 9500-16e—covering internal, external, and high-density deployments.
