Supported data protocols
This section lists the supported data protocols for ME4 Series storage systems.
NOTE ME4 Series storage systems do not support changing or converting from one data protocol to another data protocol.
| ME4 Series storage system | Data protocol and drives |
|---|---|
| ME4012 (SAS) | 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage system with 12 drives (3.5 inch) |
| ME4024 (SAS) | 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage system with 24 drives (2.5 inch) |
| ME4084 (SAS) | 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage system with 84 drives (3.5 inch) |
| ME4012 (10GBase-T iSCSI) | 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 12 drives (3.5 inch) |
| ME4024 (10GBase-T iSCSI) | 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 24 drives (2.5 inch) |
| ME4084 (10GBase-T iSCSI) | 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 84 drives (3.5 inch) |
| ME4012 (CNC) | 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) and/or 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 12 drives (3.5 inch) |
| ME4024 (CNC) | 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) and/or 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 24 drives (2.5 inch) |
| ME4084 (CNC) | 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) and/or 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage system with 84 drives (3.5 inch) |
NOTE
- ME4012 and ME4024 storage systems support up to nine ME412/ME424 expansion enclosures or three ME484 expansion enclosures. A combination of ME412/ME424 and ME484 expansion enclosures is not supported.
- ME4084 storage systems support up to three ME484 expansion enclosures.
- Deploying a drive on a system writes metadata to the drive that is not compatible between ME Series storage systems. ME4 Series storage systems do not support drives that have already been deployed either internally on an ME5 Series base system or on an expansion enclosure that has been used on an ME5 Series storage system. The reverse is also true: a drive that has been deployed on an ME4 Series storage system (internally or on an expansion) cannot beused in an ME5 Series system.
