Create RAID5 using Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller

I have 3 450GB disks on Cisco UCS C220-M4 and I want to create a RAID5.

My RAID controller is Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid controller.

On the CIMC page of the server, I can only choose to create RAID1, RAID0 or RAID10. I have nowhere to create a RAID5 virtual drive.

This is normal Is it? Is this a limitation of my RAID controller?

Thank you

The supported RAID levels of the controller depend on the The number of write caches for modular flash memory.

Without any write cache, only RAID levels 0, 1 and 10 are supported.

The supported RAID levels of this controller depend on the amount of write cache based on modular flash memory installed.

There is no write cache, only RAID levels 0, 1 and 10 are supported.
