NetApp DS2246 — Full Technical Specifications

The row that decides everything here is the supported-controller line: a shelf is useless without a head that recognises it, and this one attaches to specific FAS and V-Series families and no others. Read that, and the operating-system version beneath it, before the drive rows. The interface row states the SAS generation, which sets both the speed and what it can be chained with. Drive capacities listed are of their period and small by current standards, which is exactly why a shelf like this is bought — to match what an existing aggregate already holds. Both paths and both supplies are redundant, as they must be in something that sits behind production data.
