Minimun disks for enclosure

Hi guys. My SC8000 has a enclosure with 12 15K RPM disks for Tier 1. For 12 disks, 3 disks are defectives . So, only 9 disks are operative. Question: how many disks needs Tier 1 to work? I have read this link: https://www.dell.com/community/Compellent/Min-Max-disks-required-per-tier-for-SC8000-Sc4020/td-p/5034137 Minimum 6 disks? (5 disks + 1 spare). Thanks

Hello jpadaro,

What is the Raid configuration that you are running on your SC8000? I am guessing that from the information that you provided, you are running either Raid 5-9 or R6-9. If you are running either raid, then the minimum drives is 9 +1 spare. If you still have an active warranty, then it is best to call into support so that we can look at your system & confirm your minimum drive needed.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Sam. I have two Tier 1 arrays: RAID 10 and RAID 5-9. Thanks.
