Maximum Number Drives
Supported RAID Levels
Drive Speed
Notes:
•
Arrays cannot be created using the Broadcom RAID controller on the following
locations:
o PCIe add-in cards
o Onboard NVMe M.2 drives
•
The Broadcom cable connects to both the motherboard and the drive bays.
However, this connection to the motherboard is for the purpose of configuring and
managing the drives in the supported drive bays. It does not enable hardware
RAID for the onboard or PCIe based drives. The onboard and PCIe drives operate
independently and are not part of the Broadcom RAID configuration.
•
Mixing drives with different capacities and types within the same virtual drive
group is not supported.
One of the following:
•
Up to 4 x M.2 NVMe or
•
Up to 4 x E1.S NVMe or
•
Up to 2 x U.2/U.3 NVMe
M.2 and E1.S:
•
RAID 0
•
RAID 1
•
