The Lenovo 81Y4426 ServeRAID M5000 Series Performance Accelerator Key is an advanced hardware upgrade designed to enhance the capabilities of compatible ServeRAID controllers, specifically the ServeRAID M5025, M5015, and M5014 SAS/SATA controllers. This key enables RAID 6 and RAID 60 support, providing greater data redundancy and protection against drive failures. It also integrates performance-enhancing features like MegaRAID FastPath for optimizing I/O operations per second (IOPS) for SSDs, MegaRAID CacheCade for efficient data-tiering in hybrid storage environments, MegaRAID Recovery for snapshot functionality, and LSI SafeStore for secure management of self-encrypting drives (SEDs). This field-upgradeable hardware key improves both performance and reliability for enterprise storage solutions. Note: The Performance Accelerator Key (81Y4426) and the Advanced Feature Key (46M0930) cannot be used at the same time on the ServeRAID M5025 controller; only one key can be installed.
