It suits system builders and administrators setting up operating system storage, including configurations that use a pair of drives for redundancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts two M.2 connections accept SATA or NVMe SSDs, with the adapter detecting the drive type and negotiating the appropriate protocol. RAID 0 and RAID 1 support lets you choose between combining drives for an array or mirroring them. A PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 host interface provides the link to the server, while hardware secure boot and a drive activity LED add useful features for managed systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports two M.2 SATA or NVMe SSDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides RAID 0 and RAID 1 modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 host interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 6Gb\/s SATA and Gen 4.0 NVMe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetects the drive type and negotiates between supported protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes hardware secure boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers LSI Storage Authority, StorCLI and HII management utilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports a range of server operating systems including Windows, VMware ESXi and Linux distributions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall the adapter in a system with an available PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 lane and check Broadcom’s compatibility information for the intended drives and operating system versions.
