Support For RAID Level 10 Virtual Disk Creation On PERC 9 and PERC 10 Hardware Controllers

RAID Level 10 is a solution for users who require high performance and redundancy with quickest recovery during drive failure. Though a RAID Level 10 setup is more expensive to maintain, it has several benefits as it combines the properties of RAID Level 1 and RAID Level 0.

RAID Level 10 virtual disk creations with PERC 9 and PERC 10 hardware controllers support Uneven Span feature. When you create RAID Level 10 virtual disks with PERC 9 and PERC 10 hardware controllers the firmware suggests the preferred span layout for the setup.

NOTE: A minimum of 4 physical disks and a maximum of 256 physical disks are allowed for a RAID Level 10 virtual disk setup with PERC 9 and PERC 10 hardware controllers.

You can create RAID Level 10 Virtual Disk on PERC 9 and PERC 10 hardware controllers using the following Wizards:

  • Express Wizard

  • Advanced Wizard

    NOTE: The procedure for creating virtual disks on PERC 9 hardware controllers is the same as other PERC hardware controllers.
