No RAID5 option in HP Smart Storage Administrator

Hi,

 

I have HP ProLiant DL360 G6 server with 2x2TB WD 2.5" SATA disks installed. Smart Array P410i controller has 512 MiB total cache size and firmware version is 6.40.

 

When I try to create new array in HPSSA there is no option "RAID 5". Is it possible to build RAID 5 array with 2 2TB disks? What should I do to get "RAID 5" option?

With 2 disks you can either create a RAID 0 or RAID 1, RAID 5 needs 3 disks or more.


Hope this helps!
