simplivity capacity

Recently, we are proposing an additional simplivity unit to our customer.

however
HPE Simplivity seems to have the old model (A type) and the current model (B type).

Products currently in use:

Q5V86A HPE SimpliVity 380 for 6000 Series Small Storage Kit
This was it.
If you look at the details, it consists of 5 units of 1.92TB.

I know that the model released these days is 1.92TB * 6ea.
Is it possible to expand the existing Simplicity model to 1.92TB * 6 models?

Existing 1.92TB * 5 (2 units) + New 1.92TB * 6 (1 unit) = Rapid DR

Is this configuration possible?

Is there a reason why the capacity varies?

Hi mblee,

Yes, the existing 1.92TB * 5 (2 Units) + New 1.92TB * 6 (1 Unit) configuration is possible.

Make sure you refer to the compatibility guides provided below.

More details are available in the below-mentioned document which specifies the details about what's new on the newer version of SimpliVity disks compared with the older version.
