SCv2000/SCv2020 Drives

Dell Enterprise hard disk drives (HDDs) and Enterprise solid-state drives (eSSDs) are the only drives that
can be installed in an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system. If a non-Dell Enterprise drive is installed,
Storage Center prevents the drive from being managed.
The drives in an SCv2000 storage system are installed horizontally. The drives in an SCv2020 storage
system are installed vertically. The indicators on the drives provide status and activity information.

SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Drive Numbering

In an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system, the drives are numbered from left to right.
Dell Storage Client identifies drives as XX-YY, where XX is the number of the unit ID of the storage
system, and YY is the drive position inside the storage system.
• An SCv2000 holds up to 12 drives, which are numbered from left to right in rows starting from 0 at
the top-left drive.
