SAS available on all servers? # of drives?

[Island]

Looking at the Core 2 Duo E8400 - can you add two
74GB 15k RPM SAS Hard Drive - $30 per month

Or do you need to also add a SAS controller card?
If so, which dedicated servers come standard with SAS supporting motherboards?

Finally, how many drives can each of the dedicated servers hold maximum? Are they 1u or 2u?

You can add the SAS drives to any of the systems, though you'd need to add at least the SAS controller for $20 a month, or the RAID card, as well.

The Celeron and E4500 systems are 1u systems and the E8400, Q9300, and Harpertown are all 2u's that support 6 drives. All new systems use hotswap drive bays.

i see you are now offering the 32 GB Intel X25-E Solid State Drive which is pretty cool -- does this drive go in a hotswap tray with an adapter on an e8400 dedicated server or is it a special mount?

We generally have trays in stock for them to go in a hot swap bay, but those may not always be in stock as they're a special order item.
