RAID Settings on PowerEdge R430
Hi there!
I'm trying to understand how RAID work on R430. (PERC H730 mini)
The first question is: Why in SATA mode AHCI (I mean "embedded sata") i can create RAID 10 virtual disk and install OS? In SATA mode RAID i can also create a RAID 10 virtual disk and install OS. What is the difference? If i can also create RAID virtual disk in AHCI Mode.
The second question is: Why in SATA mode RAID the Dell PowerEdge server not see many drivers (even a BIOS!) in the Lifecycle Controller where "View current versions" ? When SATA mode AHCI all drivers displayed.
(UPD): i'm updated drivers in ahci mode (because in raid mode server not see drivers, in "view current versions". and he not install updates.) then i'm switched in raid mode. and... all drivers was finded! this is a bug?
Thanks a lot!
Eugene.

Hello
The SATA settings in the system BIOS have no impact on the H730. When you change the SATA mode you are changing settings for the embedded SATA/RAID controller. If you have an H730 installed your drives should be cabled to the H730 and not the embedded controller.
