Hi

ML350 G5 with 5 HDDs it OK for RAID 5 so let me ask you which storage controller do you have?

e200 with 64 MB?? or any other?

check this in case you have e200

Entry Models: HP Smart Array E200i/64MB Controller (integrated SAS/SATA Hot-Plug Controller with RAID 0/1/1+0 support)

**** 128MB BBWC optional upgrade kit to support RAID 5

Hi,

Thank you

You have to upgrade controller with the 128-MB battery-backed write cache (BBWC) module(Option Part number 411508-B21)
