    An nvme hba on 8x lane? Sounds a bit short on bandwidth.

    There is a 16x lane version but it is for external storage.

    Would like to see a review of these and the RAID version the . MegaRAID 9460-16i

    Finally received a working card-
    So far I have only checked it with sata drives on my sas backplane, all the drives that where running on a lsi 9305 are working great on the 9400.
    I have an issue with the nvme though, I have not tested it yet- my issue is accordind to the user guide

    ****
    Many Grantley and Purley generation backplanes that support NVMe use white Mini SAS HD connectors to indicate
    which connectors are for NVMe and which are for SAS/SATA. The backplanes have the protocol screen printed on the
    backplane near the connectors.

    The pinout in this table is not the pinout used on the Broadcom Tri-Mode adapter. For Tri-Mode versatility (support for SAS and NVMe),
    the adapters follow the SFF-9402 pinout.
    ****

    My nvme backplane is an a2u44x25nvmedk2 and my cables have the white connectors, does anyone know if there is a cable that will work?

    Hi,

    Looking at this same card. It's a bit pricey so looking for any feedback on how it performed over time and I'd you happy with it?

    Is the idea here to have NVMe-based CacheCade in front of slower bulk-storage drives?

    I had test intel 750 1.2t and p3700 400g with the cable followed sff8643,It is conn't found driver..

    Finally I found the cable (PN:05-50065-00)at lsi website and I had make an order at Span.com.

    When I receive the cable,I will test and let you konw.

    I had receive the cable（PN：05-50065-00），It can found nvme card（P3605 1.6t，P3700 400g）..

    So,for the moment,It must use Lsi cable to use nvme driver.
