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.
