Up to four drives can be installed when you choose the Embedded SATA Non-RAID controller.
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs, SAS SSDs,
SATA SSDs (ME), and SATA SSDs (VE) can be mixed in a system.
Mix configurations of 4Kn sector HDDs and 512n sector HDDs are not supported.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

Endurance of SSD
The 2.5-inch SAS/SATA SSDs have limited lifetime, which can only be written a limited number of times
before it fails.
The warranty period of SSD is the stated period of warranty or until the total bytes of written value (PBW)
exceeds the limit value, whichever occurs first. It is recommended to check the total bytes of written value
periodically.
Refer to the table below for the write endurance (PBW and DWPD), warranty period and monitoring tool.

PBW(Peta-Bytes Write): Total amount of data that can be written into the SSD. 1PB=1,000TB.
DWPD(Drive Writes per Day): Rewrite capacity of the SSD per day.
Check the lifetime of SSD by monitoring tool regularly.
It is recommended to replace the SSD before it reaches its end of life. For repurchase, please contact your sales representative.
For detailed operating methods of monitoring tool, refer to the User’s Guide.
