Hard drives

Your system supports Entry Hard Drives and Enterprise Class Hard Drives. Entry Hard Drives are designed for 5x8 operating environment 
with less workload rating to drives, and Enterprise Class Drives are designed for 24x7 operating environment. Selecting the correct drive 
class enables the critical areas of quality, functionality, performance, and reliability to be optimized for the target implementation.

NOTE: 

Do not mix Enterprise Class Drives with Entry Hard Drives.

Choosing the right drive type depends on the usage pattern. Improper use of Entry Hard Drives (workload rating exceed 55 TB/year) leads 
to significant risk and increase the drives failure rate.
For more information on these hard drives, see the 512e and 4Kn Disk Formats whitepaper and 4K Sector HDD FAQ document at 

Dell.com/poweredgemanuals

.

Depending on the configuration, your system supports one of the following:

Four hard drive 
systems

Up to four 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives, or SATA SSD

Twenty four hard 
drive systems

Up to twenty four 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives, or SATA SSD

Sixteen hard 
drive/SSD plus eight 
PCIe SSD systems

Up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swappable SATA hard drives or SATA SSD plus eight 2.5-inch PCIe SSD

Limitations for SATA SSDs backplane configurations:

•

Four hard drive systems: No limitations

•

x24 hard drive systems with unified backplane (single-PERC configuration): SATA SSDs might be installed in slots 12-23 only.

•

x24 hard drive systems with Dual-PERC (performance) configuration: No limitations

•

x16+8 PCIE systems: SATA SSDs might only be installed in slots 8-15.

NOTE: 

SSD/SAS/SATA hard drives cannot be mixed in a system.

The hot-swappable hard drives connect to the system board through the hard drive backplane. Hot-swappable hard drives are supplied in 
hot-swappable hard drive carriers that fit in the hard drive slots.
