Notes

* RAID 730-8i 1GB is available world-wide except USA and Canada
** SAS HBAs support SEDs (self-encrypting drives) by using software on the server and simply passing SED commands through the HBA to the drives.
† The 4i adapter for use in the SN550 blade server only supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 because the server has only two drives. The 4i adpater for use in the SN850 blade server only supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and 6 (RAID 6 only with 930-4i) because the server has only four drives.
‡ Intel VROC NVMe RAID supports Intel-branded NVMe SSDs without any additional license. To enable RAID using non-Intel NVMe SSDs requires VROC Premium which is a Feature on Demand (FoD) license upgrade (part number 4L47A39164, feature code B96G)
