ServeRAID M1015 SAS

SATA Controller for System x

IBM System x at-a-glance guide

The ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM System x is an entry-level 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 PCI

Express 2.0 RAID controller. The adapter has two internal mini-SAS connectors to drive up to 32 devices

and supports the same base RAID 0, 1, and 10 feature set and drivers as the M5000 series controllers.

With the attachment of the ServeRAID M1000 Advanced Feature Key, the ServeRAID M1015 offers the

option of RAID 5 and SED Encryption Key management, while still being sensitive to administrator cost

concerns in an entry-level RAID environment. This RAID controller provides connectivity to internal

direct-attach or expander-attached hard disk, solid-state, or self-encrypting drives.

Did you know

6 Gbps SAS 2.0 technology has been introduced to address data off-load bottlenecks in the direct-access

storage environment. This new throughput doubles the transfer rate of the previous generation. SAS 2.0

is designed for backward compatibility with 3 Gbps SAS as well as with 3 Gbps SATA hard drives.

Regardless of the drive speed, 6 Gbps ServeRAID adapters will deliver significant performance

improvements in both read and write applications as compared with their 3 Gbps predecessors.

Self-encrypting drives are based on a new technology that helps prevent data from being accessed

without authorization. These drives adhere to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise Security

Subsystem Class specification and are National Security Agency qualified to provide government-grade

encryption. With self-encrypting drives, if a drive is removed from its storage system or the server it is

housed in, the data on that drive is encrypted and useless to anyone who attempts to access it without the

appropriate security authorization.
