Embedded SATA RAID Controller
All versions of the server include an embedded SATA MegaRAID controller that can be used to control two
internal SATA M.2 drives. This controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 10.
The SFF, 8-drives version of the server (UCSC-C240-M5S) can also use the embedded SATA controller to
control up to eight front-loading, SATA-only drives. Control of front-loading drives with this embedded
controller is not supported in other versions of the server.
VMware ESX/ESXi or any other virtualized environments are not supported for use with the embedded
MegaRAID controller. Hypervisors such as Hyper-V, Xen, or KVM are also not supported for use with
the embedded MegaRAID controller.
