RAID5 and RAID10 RAID types. Prior to operation, please install the array adapter and HDD properly.
It is recommended to use the same HDDs (including model and capacity) for array creation and configuration so as
to maintain reliable and stable running of the disks.
Note:
The ST31000525SV/ST31000340NS HDD models are not supported for array configuration currently.
