3.6 Storage Drives
The system supports ten hot-swap 2.5" NVMe/SAS/SATA storage drives in hybrid bays. An
optional controller card kit is required to support SAS.
The drives are mounted in tool-less drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow. Each carrier has a small space on the front
to receive a label, orange or purple, to help distinguish NVMe or SAS/SATA.
Note:
Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro servers. For
compatible storage drives, see the
X12DDW-A6 motherboard web page.
