ServeRAID M5015 and M5014 SAS/SATA Controllers
for IBM System x
IBM Red b o o ks Pro d u ct Gu id e
The ServeRAID M5015 and ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controllers for IBM System x are the
next-generation 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 RAID controllers. The adapters have two internal mini-SAS connectors
to control up to 32 devices and support global and dedicated hot-spare drives. The ServeRAID M5014
controller delivers a full RAID 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 solution, while the ServeRAID M5015 provides additional
performance advantages of an extended cache and a standard battery backup unit. With the attachment
of the ServeRAID M5000 Advanced Feature Key, the ServeRAID M5015 and M5014 offer the option of
RAID 6, RAID 60, and SED Encryption Key management.
Figure 1 shows the ServeRAID M5015 with its standard battery backup unit.

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.
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 (SEDs), if a drive is removed from its storage system or the server
that 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.
