    Hardware Specifications and Features Warning: †† The SRCZCR adapter, with firmware 2.34.yy-Rzzz, is not compatible with all previous controllers and firmware versions. Do not attempt RAID Array Drive Roaming between RAID controllers that are not compatible with the SRCZCR controller. Unpredictable behavior may include, but is not limited to, data loss or corruption.
  • Page 22: Raid Controller Drive Maximum Limitations (Srczcr)

    Hardware Specifications and Features RAID firmware limits the controller to a maximum of 30 host drives (RAID volumes) per controller. There is a minimum of at least one host drive per array drive. A host drive can only be associated with (or reside on) a single array drive. Like array drives, host drives can reside on hard disk drives that are isolated to a single channel or span both of the channels of the RAID controller.
