2.8 Hard Drive Installation
2.8.1 Hard Drive Installation Prerequisites
Hard drives for the EonStor subsystem must be purchased separately. When
purchasing hard drives, the following factors should be considered:
Capacity (MB/GB): Use drives with the same capacity. RAID arrays use a
“least-common-denominator” approach. The maximum capacity of each
drive used in the array is the maximum capacity of the smallest drive.
Choose big drives with the same storage capacity.
Profile: The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3.5-inch-
wide x 1-inch-high hard drives.
Drive type: The A16E-G2130-4 described in this manual can accommodate
SATA-I or SATA-II hard drives.
CAUTION!
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the
subsystem after the subsystem has been mounted into a rack cabinet. If
the hard drives are installed first, the subsystem will be too heavy to
handle and the possible impact during installation may damage your
drives.
