NOTE:
Storage controllers must be compatible with the server connected.
The drive enclosures connected to one storage controller must be identical.
One drive enclosure can be connected to one port of storage controller.
Eight and more disk drives must be installed.
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight in order to minimize the risk
of becoming multiple hard drives failure.
Any of RAID arrays cannot be used as a boot device.
