Host compatibility and qualification
- Install only behind a SAS-capable controller and SAS backplane/expander, with a compatible 2.5-inch carrier and power. A SATA-only HBA/backplane cannot operate SAS drives.
- Validate controller firmware, capacity and native 512-byte sector support before adding it to a RAID set. Older SAS hosts may negotiate lower rates, subject to the OEM compatibility matrix.
- MTTF is a statistical series metric, not a service-life guarantee. Check the full model/firmware and live sector presentation; maintain separate verified backups.
