Supported Storage Controllers
Each S3260 M5 server node supports a single RAID or HBA controller card.
Each server node also includes an embedded MegaRAID controller that can control two rear-panel SATA solid state drives (SSDs) in a RAID 0 or 1 configuration. This embedded software RAID is available only when the server node has the UCS S3260 12G Dual Pass-Through Controller (UCS-S3260-DHBA) installed.
