Use Cases

Hardware RAID for boot volumes (RAID-1 mirror), database tier (RAID-10 high-IOPS), file/archive (RAID-5/6), VM datastores (RAID-10), backup-target (RAID-6). Battery/flash-backed write-back cache critical for write-intensive OLTP workloads. Supports drive hot-plug, predictive failure analysis, and online RAID-level migration on supported models.
