T10 Protection Information
T10 Protection Information (PI) is an end-to-end data integrity feature of the PERC H730P card. When PI
is enabled, the PERC H730P provides additional protection against silent data corruption, and ensures
that incomplete and incorrect data do not overwrite good data.
Only Dell certified PI disks are supported.

and SATA disks.
