FAQs

Q: What does Mixed Use (MU) mean?
A: It indicates a balance of read and write endurance and performance, suited for general-purpose enterprise workloads like virtualization, databases, and VDI.

Q: Is this drive hot-pluggable?
A: Yes, when installed in a supported hot-swap SFF bay.

Q: Does it include the caddy?
A: Yes, it is integrated on the Smart Carrier (SC).

Q: Will it work in my server?
A: Use only in supported models that accept SFF SATA Smart Carrier SSDs; check your server’s QuickSpecs and controller support.

Q: Is it a self-encrypting drive (SED)?
A: Not specified; treat as non-SED unless explicitly stated by the part number documentation.

Q: Can SATA 6Gb/s drives run at lower link speeds?
A: Yes, they can negotiate down with compatible controllers, though performance will match the negotiated speed.

Q: Can I mix capacities in the same RAID array?
A: Possible, but the array typically uses the capacity of the smallest drive; consistent capacities are recommended.
