No RAID 5 Option - SmartArray P410

[aristosv 0]

Hello,

 

Please have a look at the attached pictures, and let me know if you know why there is no option for RAID 5. This controller is supposed to support it.

 

It's the microserver N36L version

 

Thank you.

You need a cache module on the controller - min 256mb to use raid 5..

If you need a cache module, I have one spare. For the price of shipping, it's yours (I'm in the US).

Will I also need a battery to enable the RAID5 option? The server is already on UPS.

Nice one LoneWolf.

No, battery isn't required.
