3.6 Storage Drives
The system supports six hot-swap 2.5" storage drives in hybrid bays. SATA support is default.
SAS support can be afforded with an optional controller card and cables. NVMe support also
requires additional cables. For compatible storage drives, see the
page.
The drives are mounted in tool-less drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow.
Note:
Enterprise level drives are recommended. For information on recommended drives, visit
