The IBM ServeRAID M5200 Series RAID controller card (part number 47C8664) is a cost-effective and high-performance option for data storage and protection in IBM server systems. It is designed for use with IBM System x and BladeCenter servers, and offers advanced data security and performance features.
The card has a 2GB cache which helps in improving the performance of the RAID controller. It supports both SAS and SATA hard drives, this means you can use any type of hard drives you want with this card. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and 6, this means you can choose the RAID level that best suits your needs. RAID 5 is one of the RAID level which is supported by this card, RAID 5 provides data redundancy by distributing data across multiple hard drives and uses parity data for fault tolerance.
The card also supports advanced data security options such as RAID 6 with dual parity, this means that the data is protected from two drive failures. Additionally, the card can be upgraded with additional cache memory, which can further improve its performance. The IBM ServeRAID M5200 Series RAID controller card is a reliable and high-performance option for data storage and protection in IBM server systems.
Performance and Reliability of 2GB Serveraid CacheThe IBM ServeRAID M5200 Series RAID controller card with a 2GB cache (part number 47C8664) is designed to improve the performance and reliability of storage systems in IBM server systems. The 2GB cache helps in improving the RAID controller's performance by providing a faster read and write access to data, as well as reducing the number of hard drive accesses needed for certain operations. This, in turn, can lead to a decrease in response time for applications that rely on the storage system.
The card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and 6, which provide different levels of data protection and redundancy. RAID 5, for example, provides data redundancy by distributing data across multiple hard drives and uses parity data for fault tolerance, meaning it can continue to function even if one of the hard drives fails. RAID 6, on the other hand, provides even more robust data protection by using dual parity, meaning it can continue to function even if two hard drives fail.
The card also supports advanced data security options such as RAID 6 with dual parity which protect data from two drive failure. This helps to ensure that data is protected in the event of a hard drive failure, which can prevent data loss and downtime. Overall, the IBM ServeRAID M5200 Series RAID controller card with a 2GB cache is a reliable and high-performance option for data storage and protection in IBM server systems.
General CompatibilityThe IBM ServeRAID M5200 Series RAID controller card (part number 47C8664) is specifically designed for use with IBM System x and BladeCenter servers. It is important to check the compatibility of this card with your server before purchasing, as it may not be compatible with non-IBM servers.
Additionally, the card is compatible with SAS and SATA hard drives, so you can use any type of hard drive you want with this card. It also supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and 6, so you can choose the RAID level that best suits your needs.
It's always a good practice to check the server manual or the IBM website for any specific compatibility information or limitation of the card before making any purchase. Also, if you are upgrading from an existing RAID controller, make sure that the new controller is compatible with the existing RAID configuration and that any necessary drivers and software are available for the new controller.
