Description
The M-100 has 8 disk drive bays. Starting from left to right, the bays
are labeled A1/A2, B1/B2 C1/C2, and D1/D2.
By default, the appliance ships with 1TB drives installed in drive
bays A1 and A2 and the drive pair is in a RAID 1 array. You can
increase storage by adding 1TB drives to the empty drive bays in
pairs (B1/B2, C1/C2, and D1/D2).
As of Panorama 7.1, you can also upgrade to 2TB drives. For
information on how to increase storage on an M-Series appliance,
