EonStor DS S12/S16/S24 Series Hardware Manual
 Profile: The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3.5-inch hard
drives.
 Drive type: The system uses SAS or SATA interface 3.5" hard drives. Please
ensure that you purchase the correct hard drives.
 MUX kit: If you use a dual-controller RAID system and prefer using SATA disk
drives in the enclosure itself or in the attached 2U and 3U JBODs, make sure you
also order MUX kits.
The SAS interface features a dual-ported connectivity with pins on both sides of its
connector, while SATA drives have only one port. In a redundant-controller system,
the MUX-enabled drive trays must be separately purchased and applied. The
single-controller JBODs do not require MUX kit. For details, please refer to the
hardware manual of your drive enclosures.
