I=E2=80=99m using a PE2950 with the stock SAS RAID card and 6 x 4TB SATA = using uSATA adapters (small boards that clip in the back of SATA drives = to =E2=80=9Cmake them SAS=E2=80=9D (over simplifying things but you will = need those)). There is no real limitation, you may only run into issues = with 512e/512n/etc=E2=80=A6 but up to 4 or 6 TB you should be fine. More recently I used very modern 8TB SAS drives in an R410 without = backplane and I had to cut the 3.3V power line to the drives because on = modern drives it=E2=80=99s turning them off. Dell support knows only what was written in the manual at the date of = release of the server. Regards, Michel
