Overview (46M0830) The (46M0830) is a cost-effective enterprise-grade RAID solution for external HDDs that integrates emerging SAS technology into an organization's storage infrastructure. At 6 Gbps, the M5025 offers improved performance over its predecessors. The M5025 is ideal for supporting server mission-critical applications where high levels of sustained read and write operations are required, such as medical imaging, video streaming, Web content, video-on-demand, security and surveillance, fixed content, and reference data storage. It offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50, with optional 6 and 60. In addition, it is capable of Online Capacity Expansion (OCE), Online RAID Level Migration (RLM), single controller multipathing, load balancing, and other key RAID data protection features. The M5025 comes with 512 MB of DDR2 SDRAM and an intelligent battery backup module that connects to the adapter, providing IBM United States Hardware Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1
