Did you know?
The M1215 is an entry-level internal data storage solution that provides hardware RAID capabilities and
advanced features, such as online capacity expansion and RAID-level migration. The optional RAID 5
upgrade and support for self encrypting drives no longer requires a hardware key because the upgrade
functionality is implemented through Features on Demand (FoD) software licenses.
With increased demand for performance and advanced features, the M1215 provides a seamless
migration path to the full-featured RAID controllers, such as the ServeRAID M5210. The information about
existing arrays can be recognized and imported into the new controller without any reconfiguration.
Rigorous testing of the M1215 by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program ensures a high degree of
confidence in storage subsystem compatibility and reliability. Providing an additional peace of mind, this
controller is covered under Lenovo warranty.
