DL325 GEN10 PLUS P18604-B21 NVME + SAS

[marcellinus]

Hi

I am just planning a new server and like to understand if i can flexibly mix u3 nvme and 2.5 sas drives in all 8 standard sff bays.

server is DL325 GEN10 PLUS p/n P18604-B21

Thanks

No, that's a prebuilt system that only supports SAS/SATA. You'll want to reach out to your VAR or HPE sales directly if you need a server that supports mixing drive types.

Hi

thank you for your reply. I was now searching for the propper options and found that:

This only gives options for the 2 optional bays, where can I find the options for the standard 8 bays, this is confusing! Also I don't understand which base model does support nvme u.2 or u.3 drives in the sff bays.

The dl325 gen10 (not plus) had specific options, while dl325 gen10 plus does not.

The drive cage options are listed there in the quickspecs you've linked to, but I agree it can be confusing. This is why I highly recommend reaching out to your VAR or HPE sales with your requirements and they'll put together the correct combination of parts to meet your needs.
