All drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs (512n), SAS 10K HDDs (512e), SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs, SAS
SSDs, SATA SSDs (ME), and SATA SSDs (VE) can be mixed in a system.
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.
