Remark:

1. RAID refers to drives connected to the system directly. Firmware (v4.670.00-6500) update might be needed. (RAID 9361 configuration).

2. IP SAN refers to drives connected to ISCSI external storage.

(Note: I/O performance depends on the types of hard-drives used. Different models might result in performance increase of up to 50% over models not in the recommendation list.)



IMPORTANT: All disks within a single storage pool must meet the following requirements:

- Same manufacturer

- Same rotational speed

- Same capacity

- Max. 64 channels

Mixed disk configurations may result in unpredictable device behavior and will not be supported. If you need technical assistance - please be prepared to backup your data and remove any unsupported drives or configurations.
