Dear All, I would like to see your advice
The UCS C240 I configure in CCW contain 24 Drive backplane,
my requirement will be 3 unit of 500G HDD (Raid 5) + 21 Unit of 1TB (RAID 5) = Total already 24 drive.
Since UCS C240 do not have more then 1TB SATA drive to choose in CCW, I am also unable to located any SFF Drive for 2TB or more.
In my situation, what if I would like to expand my disk drive capacity in the future?
(Actually I prefer to place 21 Unit of 2TB of more instead of 1TB, but the maximum capacity I can choose only 1TB)
Hope to have your advice, thanks

Hi Calvin ,
According the specification for a UCS C240 SFF the maximum capacity for a hard drive is 1 TB.
Actually there is no hard drive with a higher storage capacity than that on that UCS model.
Please check in here:

There is another model of the UCS C240 (High Density) which support hard drives for 3 TB:

Hope this helps.

Hello Calvyn,
Yes, this is correct. You can have 1Tb HDD as of now with C240, So as of now total of 24 TB (max)
But you can always look for external storage for expanding the storage.
Here is the compatibility matrix for C Series servers for storage.
HTH,
