The IBM 00WV516 is a four-port 6Gb SAS RAID adapter on a PCIe3 x8 full-height card, fitted with 12GB of cache. Adapters in this class drive internal disks and attached SAS drawers, and the large write cache is what allows RAID levels with a parity penalty to perform acceptably under load. Cards of this kind are normally installed in pairs so that a pair can hold each other’s cache contents, which protects writes in flight if one card fails, and the pairing is part of the configuration rather than an optional extra. Confirm the slot type, the cache size your configuration expects and whether the adapter is one of a pair before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
