Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

The Broadcom 9400-16i is a low-profile internal interface card for high-end servers, providing SAS and SATA connectivity over a PCIe host interface. Designed for data center flexibility, the adapter increases bandwidth and IOPS versus earlier generations while remaining compact (155.7 mm × 68.9 mm) and power-efficient (11.95 W). It supports large-scale storage configurations and is built for continuous operation with an MTBF of 4,500,000 hours.

Advantages

The 9400-16i delivers improved bandwidth and IOPS performance compared to previous models, enabling higher throughput for critical applications. It offers broad connectivity options, supporting many SAS/SATA devices and NVMe endpoints, and leverages PCIe 3.1 to provide consistent host-bandwidth. Its low-profile form factor and internal design make it suitable for diverse server platforms while keeping power consumption low.

Suitable for

  • Enterprise and data center servers requiring internal SAS/SATA connectivity
  • Storage arrays and dense server configurations
  • Applications demanding high IOPS and sustained throughput

Key specifications

  • Host interface: PCIe (PCIe 3.1 bandwidth)
  • Output interface: SAS, SATA (supports up to 1024 SAS/SATA devices or up to 24 NVMe devices)
  • Power consumption: 11.95 W
  • MTBF: 4,500,000 hours
  • Dimensions: 155.7 mm (W) × 68.9 mm (D)
  • Form factor: low-profile, internal
  • Product colour: black, green, metallic

How to use

Install the 9400-16i into a compatible PCIe slot inside the server following your server vendor’s hardware installation guidelines. Connect internal SAS or SATA backplanes or drives to the card’s output interfaces using appropriate cabling and connectors. Configure the host operating system or RAID/adapter firmware according to the Broadcom documentation to present connected storage to the system.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified cables and compatible drive enclosures, ensure proper airflow and cooling within the chassis, and keep firmware and drivers updated to Broadcom-recommended versions.
