Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in a drive cage. 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.
