Page 9: Chapter 1: Overview
Chapter 1: Overview ServeRAID M5210 Controller Description The ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA controller is a PCI-Express 3.0, half-size, half-height RAID controller based on the LSISAS3108 PCI Express-SAS/SATA I/O Processor chip. The controller controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8643 4i internal mini-SAS HD connectors. The controller integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA PHYs and a PCI Express bus master DMA core. -

The major advantage of iMR is that it provides RAID at the processor level, so it does not burden the CPU, which allows for more efficient operation. iMR mode is native to the ServeRAID M5210 controller and does not require a transportable memory module. -
Page 11: Configuration Scenarios
ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM System x User’s Guide Chapter 1: Overview July 2014 Configuration Scenarios RAID 0 uses striping to provide high data throughput, especially for large files in an environment that does not require fault tolerance. RAID 1 uses mirroring so that data written to one drive is simultaneously written to another drive. This is good for small databases or other applications that require small capacity but complete data redundancy. -
