FAQ:
- Broadcom 3108 supports AES 256bits.
- Safestore for SED:
- RAID controller AOC-S3108L-H8iR supports SED drives.
- AOC-SED-LSI00268 is the Safestore part number. You would need to purchase Safestore Software to manage the drives.
- Boot from 4Kn drives:
- Boot from the VD with 4Kn drives is possible, but you will need change BIOS settings from "LEGACY" to "UEFI"
- BIOS >> boot >> from dual to UEFI. The UEFI setting allows to boot from the VD, whether it is created with 4Kn sector drive or 512 sector drive
- CacheCade:
- The part number for CacheCade is AOC-CHCD-PRO2-ESW
- If a Virtual Drive (VD) is made up of disk drives with 4Kn (4Kn native) disk drives, then CacheCade cannot be used.
- Also, CacheCade volumes cannot be created using 4Kn drives.
- Maximum CacheCade Capacity per Controller up to 2TB - 2TB supported only with Controllers with 2GB DRAM Cache equipped.
- Maximum Number of SSD in a CacheCade SSD Pool 32
- Expanding RAID:
- You cannot expand RAID 10, 50 or 60. But you may expand RAID 0, 1, 5 or 6.
- AOC-S3108L-H8IR - doesn't support RAID 5E and 5EE
- How to connect to JBOD?
- AOM-SAS3-8I8E internal to external converter
- one of the cables:
- CBL-SAST-0573 - 1m External Mini SAS HD to External Mini SAS HD.28AWG
- CBL-SAST-0690-1 - MINI SAS HD,12G,EXT,2M,30AWG,RoHS
- CBL-SAST-0677 - 3m External Mini SAS HD to External Mini SAS HD 28AWG
- but AOC-SAS3-9380-8E (Broadcom 3108) is highly recommended.
- There is no buzzer on the AOC-S3108L-H8IR
