ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA Controller

The ServeRAID M1115 is a plug-in SAS controller card designed for server storage arrays. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface and provides 6Gb/s SAS throughput. The card supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10 for redundancy or performance. Two internal SFF-8087 connectors link the controller to SAS or SATA drives.

Internal RAID controller for server storage

This card suits administrators building internal RAID volumes on SAS or SATA drives. It fits a standard low-profile slot with a height of .6 inches. Builders needing more than two internal ports or external drive enclosures should look elsewhere. Systems without a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot cannot use this controller.

Dual SFF-8087 ports for SAS or SATA

The decisive specification is the pair of SFF-8087 connectors that carry up to eight lanes of 6Gb/s SAS or SATA signals. RAID 0, 1 and 10 are handled by the onboard processor. Verify that the chassis provides a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and internal cable routing for SFF-8087 before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the ServeRAID M1115 include the SFF-8087 cables or must they be purchased separately?

The controller is supplied as a plug-in card only; SFF-8087 cables for SAS or SATA drives are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which RAID levels does the M1115 81Y4448 support for my drive array?

The card supports RAID 0, 1 and 10, allowing striping, mirroring or a combination of both across attached drives.

What does the 6Gb/s SAS rating mean when the card is installed in a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot?

Each attached SAS or SATA drive can transfer at up to 6Gb/s, while the x8 host link provides enough bandwidth for multiple drives at that speed.
