IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS SATA Controller FRU 46M0851

Great features at a good price

For the price I paid, this controller offers all the features I need. I use it on my own desktop, which ain't the ideal use of a such controller, but I can now build more RAID volumes than I was able to have before, using the onboard softraid controller.
Two more things to cosider about this controller:
- it has a very long boot time. I never counted, but it feels kile a 1 minute delay, just to load the firmware and to do the controller initialization. I didn't attempt to make it shorter using alternate firmware
- The Performance Accelerator Key for this device, which enables 'CacheCade' feature (SSD caching) costs more than its weight in gold.Read full review
