Array-planning notes
For 345-BBED, consider the workload's read/write mix, endurance needs, rebuild exposure and target usable capacity. Verify that the controller and backplane support SATA devices and that the 512e format is compatible with the existing virtual disk. Do not mix 345-BBED with unrelated drive types in a production array without checking the controller's supported configuration.
- Confirm the 3.5-inch bay and hybrid-carrier fit.
- Check drive firmware, negotiated link rate and health reporting.
- Plan RAID level, spare policy, backup and rebuild window.
- Record the replacement drive's serial number and slot location.
