• When SSD-Ms with an interface speed of 12Gbit/s are installed in a high-density drive enclosure,
the SSDs operate at 6Gbit/s because the interface speed of the high-density drive enclosure is
6Gbit/s.
• If the drive layout does not satisfy the required conditions, an error screen appears. Check the
parameter settings.
(Refer to "Conditions for the ETERNUS DX8700 S3/DX8900 S3 drive layout" (page 528)

• When the number of drives for each RAID level and the number of selected drives does not match,
the [Create] button cannot be clicked.
• When manually specifying SSDs to be used, select the same SSD type (SSD-M/SSD/SSD-M SED). If
different types of SSDs exist in a RAID group, the access performance for all SSDs in the RAID group
is adjusted to the SSD of the lowest interface speed.
