Let's get rolling. The Dell PowerEdge R530 supports three types of drives: SAS, SATA and Solid State Drives. SAS drives have speeds of 10K to 15K RPM. SATA drives operate at speeds of 7.2K RPM. SSDs can run at speeds 3GB/s, 6GB/s or 12GB/s. Since there is only one chassis the R530 only accepts LFF 3.5" drives, unless you have a 2.5" to 3.5" mounting adapter which is shown in the beginning of this video. When it comes to the max capacity per drive, it can get a little bit complicated. Dell states that the max capacity you can have per SAS drive, is 12TB, however we have been able to put in 16TB drives. For SATA, Dell states that the max per drive is 12TB, but we have put in 14TB drives. Lastly, for SSDs, Dell states that 7.68TB is the max, and we haven't been able to do anything greater than that. If you have had higher drive capacities work with your R530, share your findings in the comments below. We are interested to hear what others have found.

We will also show you how to install a new drive into your R530. This is super easy since these drives are hot swap, meaning you can install a drive while the server is running. We will also go over how to test your drives with Dell Diagnostics and HD Sentinel. Dell Diagnostics will test more than just the drives, but we will utilize this test to make sure our drives are performing well. Dell will provide an amber light for predictive failure. This is very common on 15K SAS drives because their bearings wear out over time. HD Sentinel is great for checking the Health Scores and Power On Hours for drives.
