This versatility allows users to configure their storage arrays for optimal performance and data protection. RAID 5, in particular, provides a balance of high data availability and efficient storage utilization by distributing parity information across all drives in the array. This ensures that data can be recovered in the event of a single drive failure, enhancing the reliability of the storage system. Additionally, the adapter includes advanced management tools for easy configuration and monitoring of RAID arrays, making it a robust solution for enterprise environments that require both high-speed data access and robust data protection. High-Speed Connectivity Equipped with a PCIe Gen 4 interface, the 5450-16i provides high-speed connectivity with up to 24 Gbps for SAS-4 devices. This ensures rapid data transfer rates and low latency, making it ideal for data-intensive tasks and high-performance computing environments. The adapter's advanced architecture supports the latest storage technologies, delivering exceptional throughput and efficiency. Advanced Security Features Security is a top priority for the 5450-16i, which includes features like secure boot, secure updates, and attestation. These security measures help protect the system from unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of the firmware and software. By incorporating robust security protocols, the 5450-16i provides peace of mind for users who need to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance with industry standards. ThinkSystem RAID 5450-16i PCIe Gen4 24Gb Adapter 3 The 5450-16i also offers robust support for Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), accommodating SAS and SATA SEDs. The adapter can manage SEDs by providing the necessary credentials to unlock them, ensuring data security. It supports the use of SEDs as boot drives or MaxCache logical drives, offering flexibility in deployment. Additionally, the adapter has the capability to revert secured SEDs to their original factory state, which effectively erases all data on the drives, ensuring that sensitive information is not recoverable. This comprehensive SED support enhances data protection and security for various storage applications. Dynamic Power Management The 5450-16i features dynamic power management, which can save up to 30% power compared to traditional adapters. This energy-efficient design not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes the environmental impact of data centers. By intelligently managing power consumption, the 5450-16i helps maintain optimal performance while conserving energy. Support for Lenovo system management tools is listed in the following table.
