Cisco UCSC-RAID-M5 12G SAS RAID Controller – 2GB FBWC

The Cisco UCSC-RAID-M5 is a 12Gb/s Modular SAS RAID Controller designed for compatible Cisco UCS C-Series M5 rack servers. It provides hardware RAID functionality for internal SAS and SATA hard disk drives and solid-state drives, with 2GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) for protected write-cache operation.

The UCSC-RAID-M5 supports multiple RAID levels including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, as well as JBOD mode. Drive capacity and supported configurations depend on the specific UCS C-Series M5 server model and backplane configuration.

Cisco UCSC-RAID-M5 Technical Specifications

Cisco UCSC-RAID-M5 Drive Support

The maximum number of drives controlled by the UCSC-RAID-M5 depends on the Cisco UCS server model and chassis configuration. For example, Cisco documentation specifies support for up to 10 front-loading SAS/SATA drives in the C220 M5 SFF 10-drive configuration. On supported C240 M5 configurations, the controller can control up to 16 drives depending on the chassis and drive-bay configuration.

The controller connects to the server drive backplane using the SAS/SATA cabling specified for the particular UCS server configuration. Required cables and supported drive counts should therefore be verified against the exact server model before installation.

Supported RAID Modes

• RAID 0 for performance-oriented configurations
• RAID 1 for disk mirroring
• RAID 5 for parity-based storage protection
• RAID 6 for dual-parity protection
• RAID 10 for mirrored and striped storage
• RAID 50 for striped RAID 5 configurations
• RAID 60 for striped RAID 6 configurations
• JBOD mode for supported direct-drive configurations

Cisco UCSC-RAID-M5 Compatibility

The UCSC-RAID-M5 is designed for selected Cisco UCS C-Series M5 servers, including supported configurations of the UCS C220 M5 and C240 M5 families. Cisco documentation identifies different drive limits and cabling requirements depending on the server chassis and backplane configuration.

Compatibility should be checked against the exact UCS server model, chassis drive configuration, backplane, firmware and required SAS cables before purchase or installation.

The UCSC-RAID-M5 is a SAS/SATA RAID controller and should not be used to control NVMe PCIe SSDs. Cisco specifically notes that NVMe PCIe SSDs cannot be controlled by a SAS/SATA RAID controller.
