of constrained performance here is when using unbuffered I/O. To ensure that that writes are fully committed to nonvolatile
regions of the RAID volume, unbuffered I/O bypasses cache (for example by using the Force Unit Access bit in the NVMe
protocol) and the I/O operation will not complete until all the drives in the RAID volume have completed the request to commit
the data. This kind of I/O operation completely negates any advantage of a higher performing drive in the volume.
Care must be taken to match not only the drive vendor, capacity, and class, but also the specific model. Drives from the same
vendor, with the same capacity, and even within the same class, can have different performance characteristics for certain
types of I/O operations. Thus, matching by model ensures that the RAID volume consists of a homogeneous array of drives that
deliver all the benefits of a RAID volume without incurring the additional penalties when one or more drives in the volume are
lower performing.
OptiPlex Small Form Factor 7020 supports RAID with more than one hard drive configuration.
