Disk Expansion Chassis / JBOD
- QuantaStor supports SAS/SATA & NVME external Expansion Shelves / JBOD devices from Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo and SuperMicro.
- All JBOD must have two or more SAS expansion ports per module to allow for SAS multipathing. For chaining of expansion shelves three or more SAS ports are required per expander.
Vendor | JBOD Model |
---|---|
Cisco | All Models |
IBM/Lenovo | All Models |
Dell | All Models (MD14xx, MD13xx, 12xx, MD3060e, MD1280) |
Western Digtial | Ultrastar Data60 / Data102 / 4U60-G2 / 2U24 SSD Models |

HPE | All Models (D3000 Series, D2000 Series, D6020) |
SuperMicro | All Models (HA requires dual expander [E26, E2C]) |
SAS HBA Controllers
To make Storage Pools highly-available (ZFS based pools) media must be connected to two or more servers via SAS (or FC) connectivity. We recommend Broadcom HBAs and their OEM equivalents. HPE is the exception where HPE disk expansion units must be used with HPE HBAs which are now Microsemi based. Make sure the HBA is flashed with the latest firmware to ensure compatibility with the latest storage media. For OEM branded HBAs always use the OEM's supplied firmware even if a newer firmware is available from Broadcom. SAS HBAs with only external ports (8e, 16e models) should be configured to ignore Boot ROM from Disk Devices. For Broadcom/LSI Controllers, this option is called 'Boot Support' and should be set to 'OS only' in the MPTSAS BIOS.
Vendor | Model | Type | QS HW Mgmt Module |
---|---|---|---|
Broadcom/LSI/Avago | 9400 12Gb tri-mode series | SAS HBA | Yes |
Broadcom/LSI/Avago | 9300 12Gb series | SAS HBA | Yes |
Broadcom/LSI/Avago | 9200 6Gb series | SAS HBA | Yes |

DELL/EMC | SAS HBA 6Gb & 12Gb | SAS HBA | Yes |
HPE | SmartArray H241 12Gb | SAS HBA | Yes |
Lenovo/IBM | ServeRAID M5xxx 12Gb | SAS HBA | Yes |
SAS/SATA RAID Controllers
We recommend the use of hardware RAID to make a mirrored (RAID1) boot device for the QuantaStor operating system. Always use SSD drives for the boot device with a minimum size of 240GB and recommended size of 400GB. SAS HBAs which support RAID1 may be used to produce the mirrored boot device in lieu of using a RAID controller. Software RAID is also an option but it is not recommended unless the system is booting from SATADOM SSD devices.
Vendor | Model | Type | QS HW Mgmt Module |
---|---|---|---|
Broadcom/LSI/Avago | MegaRAID (all models) | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
Cisco | UCS RAID | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
DellEMC | PERC H7xx, H8xx 6Gb & 12Gb models | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
DellEMC | BOSS | SATA SSD RAID1 | Yes |
HPE | SmartArray P4xx/P8xx | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
Lenovo/IBM | ServeRAID M5xxx | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
Microsemi/Adaptec | 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx/8xxx | SATA/SAS RAID | Yes |
SSD/HDD Disk Devices
Vendor | Model |
---|---|
Western Digital Ultrastar HDDs, SS200/SS300 SSDs | SAS, NL-SAS & Enterprise SATA Drives |
Seagate Exos Enterprise HDDs, Nytro SSDs | SAS, NL-SAS & Enterprise SATA Drives |
Toshiba Enterprise Capacity/Enterprise Performance | SAS, NL-SAS & Enterprise SATA Drives |
Cisco, HPE, DellEMC, Lenovo | OEM NL-SAS & SAS SSDs |
SAN/NAS SSD Journal Devices
A mirrored pair of SSDs are required for each storage pool to enable SSD write acceleration. SSDs can be added or removed from a given storage at any time with zero downtime. Be sure to select a storage chassis / JBOD with adequate drive slots for both the data drives and the SSD journal devices. Select 400GB models when purchasing write-intensive SSDs and 800GB models when purchasing mixed-used SSDs.
Vendor | Model | Type | Use Case |
---|---|---|---|
Western Digital | Ultrastar SS300 Write-Intensive & Mixed-use Models | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (2000MB/sec) |
Western Digital | Ultrastar SS200 Mixed Use Models | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (1000MB/sec) |
Western Digital | Ultrastar SAS SSD HUSMH Series | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (765MB/sec) |
Western Digital | Ultrastar SAS SSD HUSMM Series | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (765MB/sec) |
Micron | S650DC Series MTFDJAK400MBW-2AN1ZAB | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (850MB/sec) |
Micron | S655DC Series MTFDJAK400MBW-2AN1ZAB | 12Gb SAS | ZFS ZIL (850MB/sec) |
Object Storage SSD Journal Devices
We highly recommend the use of NVMe devices vs SATA/SAS SSDs due to the higher throughput performance per device which reduces overall costs.
Vendor | Model | Type | Use case |
---|---|---|---|
Western Digital | Ultrastar DC SN200, SN620 | NVMe | Ceph Journal / WAL |
Intel | DC All Models | NVMe | Ceph Journal / WAL |
Intel | Optane | NVMe | Ceph Journal / WAL |
Micron | 9200 PRO / MAX Series | NVMe | Ceph Journal / WAL |
Techman | XC 100 Series | NVMe | Ceph Journal / WAL |
