About the 05-50077-00
05-50077-00 is Broadcom's 8-port internal PCIe 4.0 Tri-Mode hardware RAID controller in the MegaRAID 9560-8i series. Driven by the SAS3908 eight-port I/O processor and backed by 4GB of onboard DDR4 cache, it provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across 12Gb/s SAS, 6Gb/s SATA, and PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives. It represents the standard PCIe Gen4 RAID adapter tier for enterprise servers, succeeding the PCIe 3.0 MegaRAID 9460 family.
Compatibility
The controller installs into any standard PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x8 or x16 slot in enterprise servers from Dell, Lenovo, HPE, and Supermicro. It features two internal SlimSAS SFF-8654 x4 connectors for cabling to server drive backplanes. It does not use legacy Mini-SAS HD cables. Enabling write-back caching requires connection to a Broadcom CacheVault CVPM05 power module.
How to identify a genuine unit
Genuine units feature a green low-profile PCB with a barcode sticker showing Broadcom part number 05-50077-00 and model MegaRAID 9560-8i. Two SlimSAS x4 connectors and a CacheVault header are clearly visible on the card. In StorCLI and MegaRAID Storage Manager, the card reports SAS3908 silicon and 4096MB of controller memory.
Buying used
Verify that the CacheVault CVPM05 flash module and connecting harness are included, as purchasing them separately adds substantial cost. Test that the onboard 4GB cache passes POST memory diagnostic checks without parity errors. Inspect the SlimSAS receptacles for cracked plastic shells or bent internal pins.
