ServeRAID M5100 Series Performance
Accelerator for System x (FoD FastPath)
• Accelerates solid-state drive RAID devices by reducing the processing
overhead that is associated with caching.
• One of the RAID cache cards must be installed in the RAID cache card
connector on the RAID controller to enable this capability.
ServeRAID M5100 Series SSD Caching
Enabler for System x (FoD Cachecade 1
or 2)
• Enables a hard disk drive RAID array to have its own solid-state drive
cache. The solid-state drive cache is much larger than the DRAM cache
on the controller and can provide better performance acceleration.
Cachecade 1 is read cache only, and Cachecade 2 adds write caching.
For information about the supported RAID cache cards and RAID controllers, see “Supported RAID cache
cards” on page 87 and “Supported RAID adapters” on page 86. For information about the supported
