EonStor S12S-R/G1032 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
5. Mixing SAS and SATA-II (3Gbps) hard drives in the same
enclosure is allowed. However, it is not recommended to include
drives of different interfaces into a logical drive.
6. Only SATA-II 3Gbps disk drives are supported if SATA drives
are preferred.
7.
DO NOT mix SAS and SATA-II drives in the same drive column.
8. DO NOT place a column of SATA-II disk drives between two
columns of SAS disk drives. With a higher rotation speed, the
SAS disk drives on the flank of SATA-II disk drives will
eventually cause a stability issue.
