HP ProLiant ML350 G6 - Xeon E5606 - Part: 654078-S01

[SahaluS]

This Server (654078-S01) comes with 2.5 SFF drive configuration. The HP spec description says it runs SAS and SATA drives. Anyone know, if the server will run just one type or the other or will run SAS or SATA drives?

Second question: To convert the server to LFF drive configuration, is it a matter of changing the drive cage only or the drive cage, back plane and something else?

Thank you!

> ML350 G6 goes with p410 controller on the board which supports both sas and sata drives, you can install both kind of drives however you can mix drives in a array , two separate arrays have to be created for sas and sata
