On an MD3000i the unit should always be in unified mode. Any MD1000 that is daisy chained off of an MD3000i should also always be in unified mode. Split mode is only for if you want to split an MD1000 in 2 and give half the drives to 2 different servers (each server would need a PERC5E or PERC6E in it). Note that only Dell PowerVault certified drives will work in an MD3000i (or any MD1000 daisy chained off of it). Certified drives will have the Dell name/logo on the label and have a Dell partnumber on them (as well as the original manufacturer's partnumber and model).
Hi, We have an MD3000i that currently is configured with 6X 146 gb drives, now we want to add 6 more drives to this device, these new drives are 1 Tb drives. question,   Can we add these new  1 TB drives this device? or they must 146 GB drives?   Thanks
Add drives
