NOTE:
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in one system
For mix configuration, the same kind of hard drives are mounted starting with Slot 0 sequentially, and
the remaining slots can mount different kind of hard drives.
For SAS and SATA hard drive mix configuration, they must be installed in separate drive groups with
multiple of two drives.
A large-capacity RAID array configuration requires long-time rebuilding when to recover from the
failure. In order to improve the reliability, RAID 6 or RAID 60 cofiguration, which supports two hard
drives failures, is recommended as the redundancy becomes invalid during the system recovery.
