Desktop and Enterprise are two common product classes most hard drive manufacturers use
to differentiate drive models of two different usages. The differences between these classes
may vary in degree or designs depending on the manufacturer. In general, manufacturers do
not recommend installing desktop class hard drives for RAID environment.
Desktop class hard drives are designed for balanced performance and reliability for everyday
use (8 hours/day, 5 days/week), while Enterprise class hard drives are designed especially for
RAID system environment which requires higher performance for 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
mission critical applications.
Note: Any other hard disk that is not bigger than 2TB will theoretically also work, however, in
such cases ACTi does not guarantee the performance of those uncertified hard drives.
Note: Hard disks with capacity bigger than 2TB are not supported!
