Selecting Disk Drives and Cables
Disk Drives
Your SAS controller supports SAS disk drives, SATA disk drives, SATA and SAS Solid State Drives
(SSD), and Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Drives. 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
www.adaptec.com/compatibility.
Cables
Depending on your requirements, you can use any of these cables:
External mini-SAS (SFF-8088 to SFF-8470)—Connects
to an external SAS enclosure.
Internal mini-SAS with power (SFF-8087 to SFF-8482)—Connects
to four SAS or SATA disk drives.
