SATA SSD in Dell Server

  • 772

I have a Dell R815 (PDF LINK), which has 6 2.5" bays. I would like to put some Intel X25-E in the spare bays, but have been cautioned that they may not fit since they are SATA and the bays are SAS/proprietary.

On the R815 data sheet it says "Up to Six 2.5” hot-swappable SAS, SATA, or SSD drives".

Can I be sure the X25-E will fit? If not, how am I supposed to use these X25?

    You'll need drive enclosures from Dell, but SATA devices connect to SAS controllers without problems. I've used X25-E in Dell R600 systems before.
