NOTE:
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs and SAS SSDs
can be mixed.
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.
