
Performance optimization for SSD drives with optional M5000 Series Performance Accelerator Key

6 Gbps throughput per port

PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface

Based on the LSI SAS2108 6 Gbps ROC controller

512 MB of onboard cache

Intelligent Li-Ion-based battery backup unit with up to 48 hours of data retention
