Host compatibility and qualification
- Requires a SAS HBA/controller and SAS backplane/expander. SATA-only hosts are incompatible. The SAS-2 link is 6G maximum; verify the controller's firmware, drive support and carrier/power arrangement.
- Legacy SAS drives can use OEM-formatted sector sizes; inspect the actual logical block size and ensure the host/RAID array can use it before adding the drive.
- MTBF is statistical, not a remaining-life estimate. Use supported diagnostics and keep verified data copies; a same-size SATA replacement is not interface-compatible.
