Flexible storage configuration with two 2.5" and three 3.5" hot-swappable drive bays. The drive configuration for the iR255 gives the best of both worlds. 2.5” form-factor drives provides energy-efficient power consumption and high shock resistance for robust environments, while the 3.5" drives provide the needed performance and storage capacity for a business’s ever-growing storage requirements. The 2.5" bays can also be equipped with latest SSD drives to provide unparalleled performance. The two 2.5" bays supports RAID levels 0 and 1, while the three 3.5" bays support RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 via the embedded Intel ICH controller.

Optional Solid-State Drives. The Spectrum iR255 is capable of supporting two Intel® X25-M or X25-E SSD drives. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, solid-state drives (SSDs) have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool storage solution. The Intel® X25 SATA SSD also offers significantly higher performance than traditional server drives, handling the same server workload in much less space, with no cooling requirements and lower power consumption. That space and power savings, for the same server workload, will translate to a tangible reduction in your TCO.
