3 Operating systems and devices supported

Operating systems supported

HP RAID supports the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

Devices supported

This section describes the devices supported for RAID migration, including the SATA drives,

computers, and docking station. Device support is summarized in the following table and then

explained in more detail below the table. External USB SATA drives connected to the computer or

docking station cannot be used for migrating to RAID.

RAID 0 Yes Yes No

RAID 1 Yes Yes No

Recovery Yes Yes Yes

RAID 5 No Yes No

NOTE: HP computer systems installed with PCI Express (PCIe) SSD modules are configured for

Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) only. The hardware architecture prevents the

configuration of RAID for systems installed with PCIe SSD modules.

HP SATA drive option kits

HP offers SATA drive option kits for the computer Upgrade Bay and the docking station's SATA-

swappable bay to support RAID migration. For optimal RAID performance, it is recommended that

both drives have the same speed. However, supported HP Business computers allow drives with

different speeds to be used in a RAID volume.

Drives of different capacities are also supported for RAID migration, as long as the capacity of the

secondary (recovery) drive is equal to or greater than that of the primary drive. For example, if the

primary drive is 200 GB, then at least a 200-GB drive is required in the Upgrade Bay to create a RAID

volume. If the capacity of the secondary drive is larger than that of the primary drive, the excess

capacity of the secondary (or third) drive will not be accessible. If, for example, the primary drive is

160 GB and the secondary drive is 250 GB, only 160 GB of the secondary drive will be usable in a

RAID configuration. Therefore, for optimal use, it is recommended that both drives have the same

capacity.

eSATA hard drives (select models only)

External SATA, or eSATA, is an external interface that allows a SATA drive to achieve data transfer

speeds up to 6 times that of a SATA drive using a standard USB 2.0 interface. The following

illustration shows a supported computer with a primary hard drive (1) and an eSATA drive (2)

connected to the eSATA port (select models only) to allow Recovery. Regarding the capacity of the
