The system supports both SAS and SATA hard drives in multiple capacities and form factors depending on the chassis configuration selected. Different drive capacities and interface types can be mixed; however, performance will operate according to the slowest drive installed within the storage array. The Dell PowerEdge R770 is compatible with enterprise-grade hard disk drives for reliable performance and long-term storage expansion. Keep in mind, the RAID controller and backplane configuration installed in your server may impact supported drive interfaces, maximum drive counts, and overall storage performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/8539\/5502\/files\/poweredge-r770-technical-guide_ea1b587b-0d74-4d58-b839-53d8e9b6fa14.pdf?v=1778091115\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTechnical Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/8539\/5502\/files\/dell-poweredge-r770-inside.png?v=1759176996\" alt=\"Dell PowerEdge R770 and motherboard\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mem-upg-tips page-width\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R770 Hard Drive Upgrade Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tip-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"tipbox\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/8539\/5502\/files\/icon-squares.svg?v=1747162786\" alt=\"MSI E2101-01 memory slots\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"box-cnt\"\u003eThe total number of hard drives supported by the Dell PowerEdge R770 is 24\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"tipbox\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/8539\/5502\/files\/icon-greenRam.svg?v=1747162786\" alt=\"Dell PowerEdge R770 hard drive capacity\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"box-cnt\"\u003eThe Dell PowerEdge R770 supports 300 GB, 600 GB, 1 TB, 1.2 TB, 2 TB, 2.4 TB. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"tipbox\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/8539\/5502\/files\/icon-octagon-alert.svg?v=1747165652\" alt=\"Dell PowerEdge hard drive types can be mixed\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"box-cnt\"\u003eSAS and SATA hard drives should not be mixed within the same RAID array unless supported by your controller configuration.
