[Kanagarajusam]

Hi , 

Please  advise whether the following scenarios work well in HPE DL20Gen11 servers  

1.  We are planning to buy a DL20Gen11 servers with VROC  &  2  SATA SSD drives . We will be installing windows server in this machine.  Please advise whether we can create a RAID 1 array with the 2 SATA SSD drives using the intel VROC .  

2. In another DL20 Gen11 machine, we need a RAID 5 volume using  1.92 TB SATA RI SSD 5 Nos for data and a NS204i-U for booting ( RAID 1 ) .  Here also we are going to use the intel VROC .  OS windows server

THanks .
