cage. Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA HDD with a
maximum height of 1 inch. The HDD modules are connected to the

additional SATA HDDs or SAS HDDs.

a 2.5-inch format. The HDD/SSD modules are connected to the SAS/SATA
backplane wirelessly. This allows modules to be plugged in or pulled out
easily.
I Up to eight SAS/SATA HDDs are controlled by the SAS/SATA RAID
controller already installed.
I Configurations with Eco SATA can only be mixed with BC SATA HDD
type. SAS and BC SATA drives with the same size can be mixed, but
