Also, hard drives in the back side (slot 24 to 25) must be in a separate RAID array than RAID arrays of hard drives in the front side (slot 0 to 23) for configuration 4.2.1 to 4.2.3. Dedicated Hot Spare / Global Hot Spare are supported by using RAID controller card (PCI Express). However, Global Hot Spare is not supported on the configuration 4.2.1 to 4.2.3. Also, hard drives in the back side cannot be used as Hot Spare drives of a RAID array of hard drives in the front side and front side drives cannot be used as Hot Spare drives of a RAID array of hard drives in the back side. Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs, SAS SSDs and SATA SSDs can be mixed in each drive cage. 512B sector HDD and 4KB sector HDD cannot be mixed. It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight per disk group in order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure. 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.
