Appendix C      RAID Controller Considerations

Mixing Drive Types in RAID Groups

Mixing Drive Types in RAID Groups

Table C-2

 lists the technical capabilities for mixing hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD) 

types in a RAID group. However, see the best practices recommendations that follow for the best 
performance.

Best Practices For Mixing Drive Types in RAID Groups

For the best performance, follow these guidelines:

  •

Use either all SAS or all SATA drives in a RAID group.

  •

Use the same capacity for each drive in the RAID group.

  •

Never mix HDDs and SSDs in the same RAID group.

Battery Backup Unit

T

his server 

supports installation of one LSI RAID battery backup unit (BBU). The unit mounts to the 

chassis wall (see 

Replacing the SAS Riser Battery Backup Unit, page 3-18

).

The optional LSI BBU is available only when using an LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i controller card. This 
BBU provides approximately 72 hours of battery backup for the disk write-back cache DRAM in the 
case of sudden power loss.

RAID Controller Cabling

This section includes the following topics:

  •

Cable Routing, page C-2

  •

Cisco UCS C460 Server Cabling, page C-4

Cable Routing

The red line in 

Figure C-1

 shows the recommended cable routing path from the backplane to the SAS 

riser connectors.
