* NOTE: * NOTE: * NOTE: * NOTE: 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. Please visit
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00060684/c00060684.pdf for RAID capabilities with Linux. Linux
does not support the mixing of SATA and SAS drives.
