: Series 2, Series 3, X-Series

: Series 2, Series 3

In Version 5.3, Sourcefire improved disk space management and file pruning on 

all appliances. These improvements support the file capture feature and enhance 

overall performance.

Malware Storage Packs

: 8000 Series

Sourcefire now supports the installation of a Sourcefire-supplied second hard 

drive, or malware storage pack, to provide local storage for captured files and free 

space on the main hard drive for event and configuration storage. You can add a 

malware storage pack to any 8000 Series managed device (except for the 

AMP8150, which is shipped with additional storage). Malware storage packs are 

also supported on stacked or clustered 8000 Series devices (except for the 

AMP8150).
Compatible managed devices detect if a malware storage pack is added and 

automatically transfer existing file captures to the added drive, freeing space on 

the main drive.

Do not attempt to install third-party hard drives. Installing an 

unsupported hard drive may damage the device.
