3.6 Storage Drives
The system supports twelve hot-swap 3.5" hybrid storage drive bays For compatible drives,
see the
X12DPU-6 motherboard page.
Note
: In systems using a CPU with greater than
205W TDP or GPU cards, HDDs may experience reduced performance. SSD drives are
recommended for these configurations.
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 hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and
servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website product pages
