00MA025: CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY.
The IBM 00MA025 is a PCI Express 3.0 x8 internal adapter card that combines a SAS RAID controller with cache memory. Designed for internal installation in IBM Power Systems or System x servers, this card provides hardware RAID functionality for attached SAS hard drives or SSDs. The integrated cache, typically backed by flash or battery, accelerates write performance and protects data in transit.
It enables the creation and management of RAID arrays (e.g., RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10) for data redundancy and performance. This adapter is a key component for building internal direct-attached storage (DAS) within a server, offering a balance of performance, data protection, and cost for mainstream enterprise applications.
