Equallogic PS6010

Question

Hi guys,

I have a doubt; I've a Equallogic PS6010 with 8 disk 3TB Dell. Can I insert also SSD Disks to increase performance?

I think I understand that the difference between the "E" "S" etc, is only in the disks that are inserted. The controller is always the same.

Please could you help me?

Thank you so so much.

Thank you so much. I've the last firmware (9 version) but I need more spare, so I thin that is better to add 8 more disks.

For PS4100 (with 6 disks 1TB) is the same. Correct?

Thank you so much.

Hi Donald,

thank you so much for your answer :-) If I change my 3Tb drives with 15k drives I can insert SSD and configure Hybrid array? I understand?

I do not have very clear how it works.

Thank you so much

I'm sorry Donald for my question,

I activated the PS6010 with N.8 3TB disks (Raid6 without hotspare) and everything works perfectly. If I wanted it would be possible to put some SSD disks (I think they should be 8 at this point). I can recreate the volume without problems but I did not understand if it is a configuration that works (Raid6-accelerated). The controller, via CLI, gives me the Raid6-Accelerated as an option available but I do not understand if it should work if I buy 8 SSD Equallogic disks.

Thank you so so much
