Hello gsiomos76,
Yes you can use both 6TB & 8TB drives in your MD3200i. Here is a link to the support matrix and if you look on page 27-29 it list all the supported 6TB & 8TB drives. http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/Common/MD32XX_MD36XX_SupportMatrix_en-us.pdf
Please let us know if you have any other questions

Note that the drive has to be SAS and has to have the Dell Certified Enterprise marking on it. A retail or non-Dell drive of the same model listed in the PDF that was linked will not work in an MD3k-series array (or in an MD1k-series that is connected to an MD3k (MD1k attached to a PERC is a different story)).

Hello,
there are a lot of Dell SAS drives out there wich are not listed in the Document with the correct Dell P/N, but with the same Model Number... work these drives?
