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.
