HP Workstatio D8D17UT#ABA Supported RAID configurations, Table B-2RAID configuration details

Supported RAID configurations

All workstation platforms have Intel controllers. Three LSI controllers are supported on some platforms:

●LSI 2308 — HP Z820 Workstations

●LSI 9212-4i — HP Z420 and Z620 Workstations (optional)

●LSI 9260-8i — HP Z420, Z620, and Z820 Workstations (optional) The following RAID configurations are supported.

Table B-2RAID configuration details

Configuration		Description		Controllers
RAID 0	●	Two drive minimum.	●	Intel with RSTe or RST
Integrated striped disk	●	Improved I/O performance.	●	LSI 2308
array	●	No fault tolerance.	●	LSI 9212-4i
	●	Failure of any disk in the array results in	●	LSI 9260-8i
		complete data loss.
	● Used to increase disk performance.
RAID 1	●	Two drive maximum.	●	Intel with RSTe or RST
Mirrored disk array	●	100% redundancy: all data from one drive is	●	LSI 2308
		duplicated on a second drive.	●	LSI 9212-4i
	●	Can recover from single drive failure.	●	LSI 9260-8i
	● Good entry-level redundant system.
RAID 5	●	Three or more drives (for workstations that	●	Intel with RSTe or RST
Striped disk array with		support three or more hard drives).	●	LSI 9260-8i
distributed parity	●	Fault tolerant and provides I/O performance
		improvement, especially for write-biased
		applications.
	● Single drive failure does not cause data loss
		(performance is compromised until the failed
		drive is replaced and the array rebuilt).
RAID 10	●	Four or more disks (for workstations that support	●	Intel with RSTe or RST
Striped and mirrored		four or more hard drives).	●	LSI 2308
disk array	●	Excellent performance.	●	LSI 9212-4i
	●	Uses several drives to stripe data, then copies the	●	LSI 9260-8i
		striped drives to provide redundancy.
	● Offers high data transfer of striped arrays and
		increased data accessibility (reads).
RAID 1E	●	Similar to RAID 10.	●	LSI 2308
Two-way mirroring	●	Must have an odd number of disks.	●	LSI 9212-4i
	●	Improved read performance.
