Note: PERC H330, PERC H730, or PERC H730P is required for SAS interface functionality. Otherwise, separate HBA or RAID controller is needed. PERC S130 only supports the SATA interface. For non-RAID mode, disk must be initialized via lifecycle controller before use, i.e. RAID 0 each disk as single RAID group
