Hard drives
A hard drive is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information by using one or
more rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.
CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS/SATA
backplane.
The following are the recommended guidelines for installing a mix of SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives,
and SSDs:
• Only two drive types can be mixed per node.
• Drives 0 and 1 must be of same type.
• The remaining drives must all be the same type.
• SAS hard drive support is based on the add-on card and the onboard configuration supports SATA
hard drive only.
