EX3000 disk drives
Describes the disk drives that are integrated into the server chassis of the EX3000 appliance.
The EX3000 4U chassis contains one or two server sleds, depending on whether the chassis is a
single or dual node configuration. Both chassis configurations support the 12 TB 3.5" 6 Gb/s SATA
512e disk drive.
In EX3000 single node chassis configurations, there can be 45, 60, or 90 12 TB drives per node. In
EX3000 dual node chassis configurations, there can be 30 or 45 12 TB drives per node (60 or 90
drives per chassis). Drives are drawer accessible and hot-pluggable. There is a 2.5" 480 GB
1DWPD SATA SSD in each EX3000 node for the OS. You cannot mix single and dual node chassis
within the same rack.
Note: EX3000 and EX300 drive carriers are not compatible.
