RAID Controller Comparison Perc5 /E Adapte R Extern Al: The Following Chart Compares All Current Server RAID Offerings
The PERC6/e adapter fits in a standard PCI-E slot supporting PowerVault direct attach
storage.
The PERC6/i adapter fits in a standard PCI-E slot supporting PowerEdge and Precision
internal storage.
The PERC6/i is an integrated PCI-E based card supporting PowerEdge internal storage.
¹ The PERC 6/i adapter supports a battery backup unit (BBU) on selected systems only. See the
documentation that shipped with the system for additional information.
NOTE:
The maximum array size is limited by the maximum number of drives per array (32), the
maximum number of spans per disk group (8), and the size of the physical drives. This
limits the number of spans in RAID 10 to eight, giving a total of 16 drives per virtual disk.
NOTE:
The minimum number of drives for RAID 6 is four and four drives per span for RAID 60.
NOTE:
You cannot migrate virtual disks from SAS 5/iR or SAS 6/iR to PERC 6.
NOTE:
The number of physical disks on a controller is limited by the number of slots in the
backplane on which the card is attached.
