PowerEdge Hardware General

[craigmash]

I am considering purchasing this hardware for a church server. I would like it to have two RAID 1's. One set with the OS and the other set for user files.

It is giving me an option of a SAS6iR but says it only supports two hard drives. Is that true? Would I need to purchase an additional SAS6iR card to have the second RAID 1?

Up to 10 drives and 2 virtual disks.

Perhaps I am just missing it, or just do not understand the info on that page. Does it say it is capable of running two separate Raid 1's?

You can have up to two virtual disks, either a RAID 1 and a RAID 0 or both the same RAID levels, but only two.

Ah, great. Thanks. Did not understand that is what was meant by "Virtual disks."
