Hi Peter

You have the choice, of server based storage, e.g. SAS, SSD, or external storage, reachable over a network (IP or Fibrechannel).

I think your question is around the former.

Has the technical specification of all C-series server, e.g. a C240-M4 can have

Internal storage devices drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-pluggable access.

■

Small Form Factor (SFF) drives. The server can hold up to:

• 24 2.5 inch (63.5 mm) SAS/SATA hard

drives (HDDs) or SAS/SATA solid state

drives (SSDs) with the 24-drive

backplane (with expander) server

configuration, plus two op

tional internal 2.5 inch SATA SSDs for booting an

OS.

• 16 2.5 inch (63.5 mm) SAS/SATA HDDs or SAS/SATA SSDs with the 16-drive

backplane (with expander

) server configuration

• 8 2.5 inch (63.5 mm) SAS/SATA HDDs or SAS/SATA SSDs with the 8-drive

backplane server (no expander) configuration.

■

The server also contains one internal

USB 3.0 port on the motherboard that

you can use with an optional 16 GB

USB thumb drive for additional storage

■

UCS Storage Accelerators are also available. These PCIe plug-in flash storage

cards provide independent high-speed storage

It can be integrated with storage array

Local storage (see above) installed in the server or

server without local storage, and access to a EMC, Netapp, IBM....... storage array
