Question 1

As I will be putting 3 5tb 3g drives in this in a raid 0 configuration can this unit be connected to a rocketraid 2220 8 port 3g controller instead of the included rocketraid controller? Will it have any issues with the existing raid 5 array already in use?

Accepted Answer

It should not be affected at all but I would check compatibility before buying. I do not believe it supports drives over 2TB each.

Question 2

will this work with 6TB drives, specifically the Seagate STBD6000100? There is nothing in the specs or description to indicate.

Accepted Answer

indeed, I can't find max drive size anywhere in specs. but looking at sans digital site you'll notice that all 4 bay towers have a max of 8TB total which might not make using 6TB drive(s) logical
