Frequently Asked Questions
\What is the MegaRAID 9460?
The Broadcom 9460 is a Tri-Mode RAID controller supporting NVMe/SAS/SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and 2GB/4GB cache—the mid-range choice for mixed NVMe+SAS enterprise storage.
How does 9460 compare to 9361?
9460 adds NVMe Tri-Mode support, PCIe 4.0, and DDR4 cache. 9361 is SAS/SATA-only with PCIe 3.0 and DDR3 cache. Both support RAID 0-60.
Can 9460 create RAID arrays mixing NVMe and SAS?
No. RAID arrays must use drives of the same type (all NVMe or all SAS), but both types can be connected simultaneously.
What cache options are available?
2GB or 4GB DDR4 with CacheVault (CVM05/CVM06) flash backup.
