Broadcom MegaRAID 9760W-32i - controlador RAID NVMe/SAS/SATA PCIe 5.0 x16 de 32 puertos, perfil bajo, RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, 8GB caché

Data centers and enterprise IT teams running high-throughput NVMe, SAS, or SATA storage arrays can rely on the Broadcom MegaRAID 9760W-32i to deliver uncompromising performance and data protection. This low-profile RAID controller plugs into a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and manages up to 32 internal NVMe drives or up to 240 SAS/SATA devices, making it a versatile backbone for virtualization, database servers, and high-capacity storage appliances.

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCI Express 5.0 x16 with 32 internal lanes via 8 x SFF-8654 SlimSAS connectors
• Supported drive interfaces: NVMe, SAS, SATA (12Gb/s SAS, 6Gb/s SATA, and Gen4 NVMe)
• RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with hardware acceleration
• Processor: Broadcom SAS3916 dual-core RAID-on-Chip
• Cache: 8GB DDR4 2133MHz with CacheVault flash protection (CVFM06)
• Form factor: Low-profile, half-length PCIe add-in card
• Management: MegaRAID Storage Manager, StorCLI, and UEFI HII

Why choose it

The 9760W-32i brings PCIe 5.0 bandwidth to RAID, eliminating bottlenecks for all-flash NVMe arrays while maintaining backward compatibility with SAS/SATA. Its 8GB cache with power-fail protection ensures data integrity during unexpected outages, and advanced features like FastPath and CacheCade Pro 2.0 accelerate I/O for mixed workloads. Secure Boot and SED support add enterprise-grade security for sensitive environments.

Ideal use cases

• High-performance database servers requiring low-latency NVMe RAID
• Virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM) with demanding storage I/O
• Media production and analytics clusters needing massive throughput
• Legacy SAS/SATA expansion with up to 240 drives for cold storage

Good to know

The controller supports TRIM for SSD longevity and includes a full suite of management tools for remote monitoring and configuration. It is compatible with Windows, Linux, VMware, FreeBSD, and Solaris. The low-profile bracket is pre-installed, and a full-height bracket is included for standard chassis. No cables are bundled; use SFF-8654 to U.2/U.3 or SFF-8643 breakout cables as needed.
