Selecting Disk Drives and Cables
Disk Drives
Your SAS controller supports SAS disk drives, SATA disk drives, and SATA and SAS Solid State
Drives (SSDs). When selecting disk drives for your RAID array, ensure that all the disk drives have
the same performance level. You can use different-sized disk drives in the array, but the array will
be limited to the capacity of the smallest and slowest disk drive. For more information about
arrays, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide or online Help. For more information
about compatible disk drives, refer to the Adaptec Web site at
