ThinkSystem RAID 940-16i 8GB Flash PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter
The ThinkSystem RAID 940-16i 8GB Flash PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter, based on the SAS3916 tri-mode controller, is a high-performance PCIe-to-SATA/SAS/PCIe (tri-mode) storage adapter. The 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 adapter negotiates between the speeds and the protocols to recognize and concurrently interface with these three storage devices types.
