Helpful guidelines
When adding drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• Drives must be of the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when
drives are grouped together into the same drive array. Larger capacity drives can be used, but
will only utilize their capacity to match the size of the smallest drive in the array.
• Drives in the same logical volume must be of the same type. ACU does not support mixing
SAS, SATA, and SSD drives in the same logical volume.
