Hi,
We have DL185 G5 12 disk and DL180 G6 12 disk servers which are currently used for backup/archival purposes (hence the 100 series).
Without going to too much expense (i.e. total server replacement) we would like RAID 6 + SSD (read/write) caching options on both. DL185 G5 has a P400 controller and backplane with SFF-8484 connectors and DL180 G6 has a P212 controller and backplane with SFF-8087 connectors.
What controller would have 12 disk, RAID 6 and SSD caching support out-of-the-box?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: SmartArray options
This seems perfect. We were actually looking at Windows Storage Spaces but binned that because the backplane only has a single port so we can only ever connect one controller. We still want hardware RAID 1 for Windows OS so being able to do mixed-mode in one controller is brilliant.
Thanks!

Re: SmartArray options
Actually, if using mixed mode for Windows Storage Spaces I won't need any of the 'performance' features (RAID 6/SSD caching) of the P-series. The equivalent E-series will be ok (E208i-p / 804394-B21) which also support mixed mode.

Please keep in mind your working with Gen 5/6 servers that have been out of production for 6-9 years These Gen 10 controllers are desigend to work with UEFI firmware and may or may not work with BIOS firmware and definitely are not supported in the older systems
