jang430 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hi. How many sas drives can Dell Perc H310 take? Seeing a lot of somewhat bargain SAS 6 Gbps drives around. Planning to grab some of price is right. I also flashed mine to IT mode. Do I have to worry about HGST drives or Seagate drives either from. Dell, Supermicro? Lastly, what cable do I need to use? Currently using mini sas to 4 sata cable, 2 of them. Quote Link to comment

jang430 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Any idea on drive compatibility? For use on unraid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Unraid has no special drive requirements, SAS drives need to be using 512 or 4k sectors, some if bough used can have unusual sector sizes, but they can be reformatted. Quote Link to comment
