Максимальный объем HDD для P120i и P420i

Есть сервер со встроенными HP SmartArray P120i

HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 LFF-4

Firmware версия контроллера P120i v3.08

Вопрос: Узнает ли и примет контроллер диски форм-фактора 3,5 в количестве 4 штук по 12 Терабайт ёмкости в каждом?

Если не для создания RAID массива, то хотя-бы в принципе поймёт ли он их для дальнейшего создания программного RAID через например FreeNAS или TrueNAS.

Hi,

first, I think if you write in English you have a better chance, that someone can help/answer you.
I can only assume, what you mean.
But these are interesting letters that I've never seen before.

The HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 has a B120i Raid Controller, are you sure it is a P120i?

The HP Dynamic Smart Array Controllers (as B120i) are RAID assisted with a driver. This means that they do not come with an integrated ASIC to provide the RAID functionality. These controllers use the driver to request the OS to perform the necessary calculations through CPU cycles. Therefore, they cannot be considered a “Hardware Raid controller”.

I don't think, that there is a Raid Driver for your Operating System, because this Controller is now around 10 years old.

10 years ago the largest supported hard drive on this controller was 4TB.
