Hello hoemee It should be fairly easy to set up. The hot spare can be assigned to an array or set as global. Most hot spares are configured as global. You may want to consider purchasing one SSD to configure as a cachecade drive for the RAID 10. It provides a significant boost in read speeds in most configurations. Here is the manual for the PERC 8 controllers that has more information: <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>   Thanks
We will be purchasing a new T620 with a PERC h710p card to setup a RAID1 and RAID10 scenario.  We would like to have the C:\ as RAID 1 and D:\ as RAID 10 with one more HDD as a global hot spare.  The OS will be on C:\ and SQL on D:\.  All HDD's with be 300gb 15k.  I have setup up RAID 5's before with a hot spare, but this will be new to me.  What should I be aware of going into this?  Also, any documentation I should review? Thank you
