For drive types, the T630 supports both HDDs and SSDs. HDDs are available in SATA and SAS formats, while SSDs also come in SATA and SAS, with no support for NVMe drives.
Regarding drive speeds, HDDs offer a variety of options. SATA HDDs operate at 7.2K RPM, while SAS HDDs can run at 7.2K, 10K, or 15K RPM. It's important to note that SAS drives with speeds above 7.2K RPM may experience wear on their ball bearings over time, so keeping a spare on hand is recommended. For SSDs, SATA drives offer speeds of 6 Gb/s, and SAS drives provide speeds of 12 Gb/s.
The size of the drives depends on the chassis. The T630 can accommodate Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, which are 3.5 inches, and Small Form Factor (SFF) drives, which are 2.5 inches. Although there are also 1.8-inch chassis options, this video focuses primarily on SFF and LFF sizes. For SFF drives, the maximum size for a SATA HDD is 2TB, and for a SAS HDD, it is 2.4TB. The maximum size for both SATA and SAS SSDs in an SFF chassis is 7.68TB. In an LFF chassis, the maximum size for a SATA HDD is 22TB, while for a SAS HDD, it is 20TB.
