PowerEdge 2900 III PERC 6/i SSD Raid
hi
I want to upgrade a PowerEdge 2900 III Server to windows 2012 r2 and use this opportunity to upgrade the two OS Raid 1 HDDs to a two Disk SSD Raid 1.
I know that the PERC 6/i supports SSDs in a single drive, but what's about a Raid and can the Trim-commands be used there? If not, is Trim not so important and I can still use SSDs for a Raid 1 or is it better to use normal SAS/SATA HDDs instead?

Hello
I don't know what you are referring to regarding SSDs only working in single drive configurations. The functionality will be identical for an SSD on a PERC 6 whether it is a single drive RAID 0 or multiple drives are used.
No, TRIM/Unmap are not supported on the PERC 6.
