ServeRAID M5016 SAS

SATA Controller

IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The ServeRAID M5016 SAS/SATA Controller offers an enterprise grade RAID solution for internal HDDs

and integrates popular 6 Gbps SAS technology into an organization's storage infrastructure. In addition,

M5016 comes with Flash-Backed cache offload, allowing clients to have extended-life cached data

protection in their storage subsystem in the event of an unexpected power outage.

Figure 1 shows the ServeRAID M5016 controller.

Did you know

The ServeRAID M5016 SAS/SATA Controller uses 1 GB of Flash-Backed cache with super-capacitor

technology, eliminating the need for consumable batteries. In addition, it supports RAID 6 and 60, and

self-encrypting drives as a standard feature. The purchase of additional feature keys is not required.

 Support for RAID levels 6 and 60 and self-encrypting drives as a standard feature (no additional feature keys required)  LSI SafeStore support for self-encrypting drive services LSI SafeStore encryption services offer instant secure erase and local key management for self-encrypting drives. This technology represents a significant step forward in securing data on a disk drive from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives.
