Important Considerations
- No hardware acceleration — CPU overhead exists during RAID 5 parity calculations.
- No support for SAS drives — S100i is SATA only.
- No mixed RAID modes on the same controller without special configuration.
- Not supported in Hyper-V Gen2 VM when passing through the S100i — works only on physical hardware.
5.2 Blue Screen (BSOD) on Boot
Symptom: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE after installation.
Cause: This often occurs if the OS was installed using one driver stack (e.g., Standard AHCI) but the controller mode or driver was changed later.
Solution: Ensure the S100i mode is enabled in the BIOS (System Options > Processor Options > HPE Smart Array S100i Software RAID should be enabled). Re-install using Intelligent Provisioning to ensure correct MBR/GPT alignment and driver injection.
