The Dell PowerEdge R350 supports three primary types of drives: Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA), and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe). SAS drives offer speed options of 3GB/s, 6GB/s, and 12GB/s, with a maximum speed of 12GB/s. SATA drives are available with a maximum speed of 6GB/s, while NVMe drives boast impressive speeds of up to 16GB/s. The R350 accommodates a variety of drive sizes ranging from 240GB to a maximum capacity of 7.68TB. This maximum capacity can be achieved with 8 drives each having a 7.68TB size. The Dell PowerEdge R350 provides flexibility in drive choices, and we encourage users to share their experiences and findings with different drive capacities in the comments below.

Additionally, the R350 comes with hot-swap capabilities for convenient drive installation without the need for server downtime. Whether you opt for SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives, the hot-swap feature allows you to add or replace drives while the server is operational. In our upcoming tutorials, we’ll guide you through the process of installing new drives into your R350 and provide insights into testing drive performance using tools like Dell Diagnostics and HD Sentinel. These tools are not only useful for drive assessments but also for monitoring Health Scores and Power on Hours, ensuring your drives operate optimally.
