EMC CX-4PDAE-20 Non-OEM drives
Good Morning,
I know this is a rather non-enterprise related question but I figured this would probably be the best shot at getting an answer anyways. Currently I use ax150i's for my storage needs with your standard consumer 3TB sata drives. The ax150is are getting pretty old and I would like to get something with better controllers so I've been looking at the CX-4PDAE's. My main question is does anyone have any idea what the CX-4PDAE's controllers can accept as far as drives; I would be happy if I could also use 3TB drives like the ax150i's but if it has the firmware for 4TB drives that'd be amazing. Anyways I can't seem to find much info on the controllers used by EMC but if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it. Thank you and have a good day.

Oh btw I know very little about this kind of stuff. Just kind of dipping my feet into it I guess; currently I received an ax150i that allowed me to put 3TB drives in as I needed and I can see them with a FreeNAS OS. That's pretty much all I'm hoping to do with the CX-4DPAE with hopefully either 3 or 4TB drives. So I apologize if I'm speaking mostly nonsense but any help is much appreciated.

Seems AX150i does not officially support 3TB disks?

Just an FYI - the CX4 is no longer sold by EMC as far as I know, it's been replaced by the VNX or Unified line.
