ML30 Gen10 - 2x256GB SSD, 4x4TB HDD

[oSAlj]

Hi,
I have ML30 Gen10.

In four caddy I have 4x WD 4TB installed in RAID5.
I have a Samsung Pro 860 256GB SSD connected to port 5
I have a Samsung Pro 860 256GB SSD connected to port 6
SSDs are set to RAID1. The software RAID is based on the HP S100.

I have installed Windows Server 2019 Standard.

I created a partition in RAID5. Size 10.8TB
I am trying to format this partition.
I select quick formatting.
Nothing has happened for 20 minutes.
The drive is still not formatted.

Is it normal?
Can I use this disk configuration on this server?

Steps.

1. Go to server manager- File and storage services-disk.

Check the created raid online or not if not initialise the status from offline to online.

Formatting taking time depend on initialisation.

The problem was one disk.
The system showed it to be fully operational.

After removing the drive, everything works as it should
