FAQs

Q: Will a SAS drive work with a SATA-only controller?
A: No. SAS drives require a SAS-capable controller. A SAS controller can operate both SAS and SATA drives; a SATA-only controller cannot operate SAS drives.

Q: Why choose SAS over SATA for nearline drives?
A: SAS provides dual-porting, better command queueing, and enhanced error handling, which can benefit multi-path and enterprise storage scenarios.

Q: Is 512e compatible with my RAID controller?
A: Most modern RAID controllers support 512e. Update firmware and verify controller documentation for specific model support.

Q: Can I mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array?
A: While a SAS controller can host both, mixing in the same array is not recommended due to performance and feature mismatches. Keep arrays homogeneous.

Q: Is this drive hot-pluggable?
A: Yes, when installed in a compatible LFF hot-plug bay with a SAS backplane and controller.
