SATA hardware RAID is supported on Linux systems that have support for the Intel RSTe technology.
The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a
good alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please visit
http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix
for RAID capabilities with Linux.
All drives must be identical in type and capacity.
RAID arrays greater than 2 TB are fully supported.
NOTE 1:
Requires hard drives with identical speed, capacity, and interface. Specific user-configured
hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this Linux system. For details,
please visit

NOTE 2:
Specific user-configured hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this
Linux system. IS: Striping of 2 or more HDDs into a single logical volume
