Use Cases

Dedicated OS-tier boot mirror — keeps OS (ESXi / Windows / RHEL / Ubuntu) on dedicated M.2 RAID-1, separating boot from data drives. Frees data backplane slots. PERC RAID controller cache reserved entirely for data workload (DB/VM). Required for VxRail / Storage Spaces Direct / vSAN where data drives are claimed by SDS.
