Note:  RAID 6 is the recommended and default RAID type for all drives. 

RAID 5 is allowed for drives less than 1 TB with an accepted RPQ (Request for Price Quote). 

When configuring RAID 5 for the supported drives, you need to accept the disclaimer acknowledging that you understand the risks that are associated with RAID level 5, as shown in Figure 11-82. A Time stamped record with user information is created for audit purposes. 

For more information about the supported drive types and available RAID levels for DS8900F models, see Chapter 2, “IBM DS8900F hardware components and architecture” on page 23.
