Types of Drives
If a combination of SAS disks, Nearline SAS disks, SSDs, and SEDs is installed in the ETERNUS DX, each different
type of drive requires a corresponding hot spare.
2.5" and 3.5" drive types are available. The drive type for high-density drive enclosures is 3.5".
The capacity of each hot spare must be equal to the largest capacity of the same-type drives.
