4.1.7 RAID Controller Drive Limitations (Host, Array, Logical, and
Physical)
The following are limitations assuming the following:
•
Four SATA ports
•
Cabling that meets SATA specifications 1.0
Physical drives are limited by the number of ports (four) on the RAID controller. Each physical
drive must be connected to one of the SATA ports. The maximum number of array drives is two. A
RAID array drive requires a minimum of two hard disk drives (or logical drives). Therefore the
maximum RAID array drive limitation for the SRCS14L controller is the physical drive limit
divided by two.
Each RAID array drive (up to two) can contain up to a maximum of two host drives. This means
that the SRCS14L controller has a maximum limitation of four host drives. Also, each array drive
must have at least one host drive. A host drive can only be associated with (or reside on) a single
array drive.
