Re: SSDs for POWER6 550

There should be no issue with SSDs on this machine.

You will need the appropriate SAS drawer to put them in and another SAS RAID card to drive the SSDs with. I do not believe you can add SSDs to the controller that you have as it is the internal SAS RAID controller and is already driving 'spinny' drives.

It was my understanding that when we purchased this model it was capable
of running SSDs but our BP is now telling me that it is not. Is this
really that case?



All six slots in the CEC are available for use.
