Full featured Tri-mode Intel® RAID Controllers (RMSP3/RSP3 families) cannot detect more than 64 SAS/SATA drives.
The maximum number of SAS/SATA drives supported on a full featured Tri-mode Intel® RAID Controller depends on the profile setting.
You can change the profile from the UEFI HII Configuration Utility using the steps below:
Personality | Profile# | Profile Name | Drive Support | Max Physical Drives | Max Virtual Drives |
RAID | 10 | PD64 | SAS/SATA | 64 | 64 |
RAID | 11 | NVMe4 | NVMe* | 4 | 64 |
RAID | 12 | PD240 | SAS/SATA | 240 | 240 |
RAID | 13 | PD64_NVMe4 | SAS/SATA/NVMe | 64 | 64 |
JBOD | 20 | PD_240 | SAS/SATA | 240 | 240 |
JBOD | 21 | PD64_NVMe8 | SAS/SATA/NVMe | 64 | 64 |
JBOD | 23 | PD_240 | SAS/SATA | 240 | 240 |
Note |
From firmware version 5.080.00-1965 (package 50.8.0-2-66) onwards, only profile options that are compatible with the current personality setting and drive type connected are visible. For example, if the Intel® RAID Controller personality is set to RAID and you have SATA drives connected, you will only see options for profile# 10 and 12. |
