I'm just curious as I have HW RAID card and was thining about trying Samsungs F4 (AF)drives in RAID5. I can't find any info on LSI web site.

Thank you.
 
Ive heard of alot of people with Samsung F4s in Raid5 and everything..

I've personally got 5 of them onboard in Raid5 in my x58 onboard controller.
 
They treat them as normal 512-byte disks, since that is what the 4K HDDs report to the host system.

Alignment is crucial or you will have very poor performance particularly in RAID5.
