  • 3. It connects via a dedicated x4 PCIe connection on the backplane. There's a storage controller inside the storage blade, so to the server, it looks just like there's a RAID controller in a PCI slot with a bunch of drives connected to it. It doesn't consume any bandwidth that goes to the interconnect bays.

  • Thanks for watching.

    1. Yes, disks are hot-swap. The drives are still connected to the array controller when the drawer is open.

    2. The storage blade connects to the server in a specific bay. On the HP c7000 enclosure (the most popular enclosure), the storage blade would go into an even-numbered bay, and connects to the server in thebay to its immediate left. That is, a storage blade in bay #2 connects to a server in bay #1. You don't get to choose whether it's left or right.

  • Hi Daniel, thanks for the video, 3 questions:

    1. Are the disks hot-swap? when you pull out the blade is it still connected somehow or i'm loosing the whole array?

    2. What "adjacent server" means? Just a single server next to it or it's more flexible? If I stick the storage blade in the meddle I can either choose to connect it to the server on the left or on the right? Useful in case of blade failure.

    3. Performances, how it connects the server blade? Is it using the 5Tbit shared backplane?Thanx
