Galaxy Raid GHDX4 SAS<>-SAS/SATA 12Bay Installation / Hardware Reference Manual
NOTE:
Regarding SATA disk drives, currently only 3Gbps SATA-II disk
drives are supported. Make sure you properly configure HDD
configuration (such as jumper setting) before you install hard drives
into the system. Some hard drives come with a default speed set to
1.5Gbps.
If using SATA hard disks that are defaulted to 1.5Gbps, compatibility
issues may occur.
4. Cabling:
The Galaxy comes with the following cables:
1.
2.
Other cables are user-supplied:
1.

3.
5. Mixing SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure is allowed.
However, please DO NOT mix SAS and SATA drives in the same
drive column.
6. DO NOT place a column of 3Gb/s SATA disk drives between two
columns of 6Gb/s SAS disk drives. With a higher rotation speed,
6Gb/s SAS disk drives on the flanks of 3Gb/s SATA disk drives
will eventually cause a stability issue.
