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 16 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.Brand Name: LenovoController Type: Serial ATA/600Form Factor: Plug-in CardHost Interface: PCI Express 2.0 x8Product Type: SAS ControllerRAID Levels: 10RAID Supported: YesSAS Connector Details: 2 SFF-8087Total Number of SAS Ports: 8BasicBrand Name: LenovoController Type: Serial ATA/600Form Factor: Plug-in CardHost Interface: PCI Express 2.0 x8Product Type: SAS ControllerRAID Levels: 10RAID Supported: YesSAS Connector Details: 2 SFF-8087Total Number of SAS Ports: 8ControllersController Type: Serial ATA/600RAID Levels: 10RAID Supported: YesGeneral InformationBrand Name: LenovoManufacturer: Lenovo Group LimitedManufacturer Part Number: 46M0831Packaged Quantity: 1Product Line: ServeRAIDProduct Model: M1015Product Name: ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA ControllerProduct Type: SAS ControllerI/O ControllerController Type: Serial ATA/600RAID Levels: 10RAID Supported: YesInterfaces/PortsHost Interface: PCI Express 2.0 x8Number of SAS Ports (Internal): 8SAS Connector Details: 2 SFF-8087Total Number of SAS Ports: 8MiscellaneousForm Factor: Plug-in CardPlatform Supported: PCPhysical CharacteristicsForm Factor: Plug-in CardPlatform Supported: PCProduct InformationForm Factor:
