3.6 Storage Drives
The storage server supports forty-five 3.5" hot-swap drives as main storage. Optionally, 2.5"
drives can be used with adapters. In addition, it supports two sets of two 2.5" hot-swap drives
at the chassis rear—SATA with an option for NVMe. All drives are mounted in tool-less carriers
to simplify their removal. These carriers also help promote proper airflow.
Note:
Enterprise level drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and servers.
