Recommended Drive Configurations

Before installing or adding drives to a SnapSAN S2000 appliance, the following must
be observed:
• Different capacity drives can be installed; however, they should not be included
in the same RAID array, because capacity usage for all drives in the RAID is
limited to the capacity of the smallest drive member.
• Drives of different rotational speed (such as, SAS and SATA drives) can be
installed, but they should not be installed in the same column. If you are
combining drives with different speeds, use the figures below to plan where to
place the disk drives.

AVERTISSEMENT: il est recommandé que la mécanique lifter (ou au moins deux
personnes) soit utilisé pour élever et d'unifier l'appareil pour éviter des blessures
pendant l'installation. Faites attention lorsque vous insérer ou de retirer une unité d'entrée
