Technical white paper | AHCI and RAID on HP EliteDesk and EliteOne 800 Business PCs

Configurations

Recommended configurations

HP recommends factory configurations of the preinstalled RAID offerings for HP EliteDesk/Elite 800-series Business PCs.

The preinstalled RAID offering is a RAID 1 volume of two identical SATA hard drives.

HP EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series Business PCs are based on Intel chipsets that provide a combined hardware and software

RAID solution. The Intel mass storage controller allows all drives to operate in IDE or RAID SATA modes. Each mode of the

controller means a different PCI controller, with different device ID, class code, and driver support.

CAUTION

The PCI Device ID of the mass storage controller changes after changing SATA emulation mode in the BIOS. Changing the

BIOS from AHCI mode to RAID mode is the equivalent of connecting the hard drives to a new add-on RAID storage controller.

The installed operating system on the hard drive is unaware of this new mass storage controller. If the operating system

does not have the RAID drivers enumerated and PnP for the RAID controller, the operating system will fail to boot (blue

screens) when Windows 7 or Windows 8 attempts to boot.

RAID drives.

Mode Purpose Minimum drives required

RAID 0 Striped for Performance. 2

RAID 1 Mirrored for Protection. 2

RAID 5 Parity for Accuracy. 3

RAID 0 + 1 Mirrored and Striped. 4 (Not supported on HP

EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series business

PCs)

Intel’s Rapid

Technology

4 logical drives on 2 physical disks, to

emulate RAID 0 and 1

The following notes are important for RAID configurations:

• RAID 1 is the only RAID configuration that HP EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series Business PC products offer as factory

configuration option.

• All pre-configured systems:

– Are complete RAID systems

– Have both drives installed

– Have the necessary Option ROM configuration

– Are pre-loaded and pre-installed with all required Intel software

– Include a preinstalled operating system that is mirrored mode out of the box

• We also recommend keeping the default options in the RAID Option ROM and in the Windows RAID application. Options

like “chunk” size for changing the size “stripe” size have more history in their defaults settings.

Other supported configurations

HP EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series Business PC products support two other RAID configurations:

• Two-drive configuration:

– Two equal size/type SATA hard drive RAID configurations in RAID 0 or RAID 1 or Matrix Mode of RAID 0 and RAID 1.

– Maximum of two SATA optical drives (on HP EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series Business PC Convertible Minitowers).

• Three-drive configuration (only on some HP EliteDesk/EliteOne 800-series Business PC Convertible Minitowers):

– Three equal size/type SATA hard drive RAID configurations in RAID 0 or RAID 5 or Matrix Mode of RAID and RAID 5.

– Maximum of one SATA optical drives.
