*Each drive requires a PCIe x4 (minimum) slot to be available. Full performance is obtained only when using
PCIe slots connected to the CPU. Non-CPU PCIe slots may see a decrease of up to 10%. Please see slot
configuration recommendations at www.hp.com/go/zturbo. Note that graphics cards, Thunderbolt™, and
other devices will require PCIe slots.
For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes; TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less.

SATA hardware RAID is supported on Linux systems that have support for the Intel RSTe technology. The
Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good
alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please visit http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix
for RAID capabilities with Linux.
All drives must be identical in type and capacity.
RAID arrays greater than 2 TB are fully supported.
NOTE 1: Requires hard drives with identical speed, capacity, and interface. Specific user-configured
hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this Linux system. For details, please visit
http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix
NOTE 2: Specific user-configured hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this Linux system.
IS: Striping of 2 or more HDDs into a single logical volume
IM: Mirroring of 2 HDDs into a single logical volume
IME: Mirroring of 3 or more HDDs into a single logical volume.
