IBM 5110 with 5016 Cache Vault

Hi guys,

So I got a IBM 5110 card with no cache for cheap on ebay the other day and I took the 1GB cache Vault module off my IBM 5016 and put it on the 5110.

Everything works fine. It booted and detected my Raid 5 and Raid 1 drives with no issue.

I updated the firmware on it and Cache Vault feature showed up in the MegaRaid Storage software.

Question:

-What are the advantages of 5110 over 5016 with my current setup? Is it only PCI 3.0 difference between the cards? Should I keep it this way or go back to 5016 setup? Any disadvantages over the 5016?

I do not have any feature keys installed. My Raid 5 has 3 SSD drives and my Raid 1 has 2 x 1TB 7.2K RPM SAS drives.



Thanks.
