I recently purchased a Dell Poweredge 2950 at an auction for a very low price, couldn't pass it up.
It didn't come with any hard drives so I ordered 5 SATA caddy trays and I am curious what the maximum size the hard disks could be. I plan on doing RAID 6 so I have plenty of redundancy and I would like to have at least 1TB drives installed. Will the 2950 support 5-6 1TB drives or maybe even 2TB drives? I'm not concerned whether or not dell "supports it". I have already tested a WD Green 500GB SATA drive I had lying around and it worked fine in the SAS bay. Also, will the caddys I ordered still have lights that tell me whether or not a drive is dead or is that just an SAS thing?
