NOTE: SATA hardware RAID is not supported on Linux® systems. The Linux® kernel, with built-in
software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to
hardware-based RAID. All drives must be identical in type and capacity. Boot volume/RAID array must
be less than 2 TB (
NOTE 1: Requires identical drives (speeds, capacity, and interface).
