Is it possible to have multiple RAID arrays across the same disks (assuming we have enough space on the drives)?
TIA!

With that controller you can have multiple logical drives per array but only 1 array per drive. IE - you can put multiple drives into raid and then create multiple "partitions" on the array but you cannot have something like half the drive be in raid 0 for booting and the other half be in raid1 for data protection.
