What if I filled the storage only with 1 bank of say&nbsp;<SPAN>92TB (24x3.84TB) initially, would I be able to order the second bank of SSDs later on and install it into the same head? Or should I order the expansion shelf and with it with that second bank?&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Tue, 18 Aug 2020 21:25:09 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/array-performance-and-data/nimble-capacity-expansion-options/m-p/7098608#M1310 ArsenAstezh 2020-08-18T21:25:09Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/array-performance-and-data/nimble-capacity-expansion-options/m-p/7098626#M1311 <P>Hello!</P> <P>All Nimble AF systems are able to be populated with either 1 or 2 SSD banks on day 1.
