Hello wilddoktor The PERC 5/i does not officially support SSD's, but it will most likely work. The PERC 6 was the first controller to support SATA SSD's and the H700 supported SATA and SAS SSD's. I would recommend that you try SATA SSD's. Also, none of our controllers support mixing drive technologies within the same container/array, so you will not likely be able to put the SSD's in the same array as non-SSD's. Creating a RAID 1 with 2xSATA SSD's would likely work, and you should be able to keep your other array of SAS drives on the same controller. I'm not able to give you a definitive answer since SSD's were not supported with this controller, but maybe there is someone that has tested them out that will chime in. Thanks
Please forgive my ignorance; I've looked through the documentation but can't find the info I'm after. I have a PE2900; when looking at the config online I see it shipped with:
Can I mix SAS and SSD drives? PE2900
