SCv2000/SCv2020 Drives

Dell Enterprise hard disk drives (HDDs) and Enterprise Solid-State Drives (eSSDs) are the only drives that 

can be installed in an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system. If a non-Dell Enterprise drive is installed, 

Storage Center prevents the drive from being managed.
The drives in an SCv2000 storage system are installed horizontally. The drives in an SCv2020 storage 
system are installed vertically. The indicators on the drives provide status and activity information.
