The system supports 36 hot-swap 3.5" SAS3/SATA3 (up to four native hybrid SAS3/SATA3/
NVMe drive bays) storage drives in hybrid bays. For compatible storage drives, use the
X12DPi-N(T)6 motherboard page.
The drives are mounted in toolless drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow.

Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and
servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website product pages
