¹ Depending on selected drives, RAID setting, and external mini SAS equipped SAS or SATA card.
² RAID drives via software or SATA controller card.
³ When using 6Gbps drives, OWC strongly recommends 1 meter mini-SAS cables due to the increased signal integrity requirements of the 6Gbps standard. While longer cables may function well with certain drive/card combinations, for ultimate reliability and performance, we recommend cables that are 1 meter in length which is available here.
