I am setting up new servers and I was reading the release notes on the 5.1 U1 and it gave examples of supported raid.
I was planning on installing 8 1TB drives and setting them up RAID 5. The release notes says that they support the following examples. It says 7 1TB drives in that note.
Is this just an example or if I use 8 drives will my server explode? It just seems weird that I can use 7 but not 8 rather than a set rule of max number drives in a particular RAID type statement.
Anyone have any insight into this or do I have to burn a support call.
