Technical rules for drives

Understanding the technical rules for drives helps you correctly install and configure drives in the system.
Drive installation rules
The following notes describe information that you must consider when you install a drive.
• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number "0"). Follow the
installation order when you install a drive. See "Front view" on page 19.
• You can use drives from different vendors.
• The drives in a single RAID array must be of the same type, same size, and same capacity.
• You can mix drives of different types and different capacities in one system, but not in one RAID array.
You can also use a 2.5-inch drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay.
For technical rules for RAID configuration, see "Technical rules for RAID configuration" on page 87.

Technical rules for RAID configuration

The following notes describe information that you must consider when you configure RAID.
• For software RAID, JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported.
• Onboard NVMe configuration supports JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 when Intel NVMe SSDs are
used.
• Both VROC Intel-SSD-Only and VROC Premium support JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10, with the
former using Intel NVMe drives while the latter using non-Intel NVMe drives.
– Bootable volumes must be in the same volume management device (VMD) domain.
– Data volumes can be deployed across VMD domains.
– RAID volumes across CPUs are not supported.
– VROC must be configured by referring to the following VMD domain matrix.
