About these models:
Models 7147-D1x, D2x
,
D3x, D4x
: These models are designed for database applications and uses
solid state drives for the best I/O performance.
Backplane connections for 16 1.8-inch solid state drives (SSD) are standard as are 16 200GB
high-performance solid-state drives. Model D1x includes four SSD-optimized ServeRAID B5015
RAID controllers, models D2x and D4x includes two SSD host bus adapters, and model D3x includes
two ServeRAID M5015 RAID controllers each with the ServeRAID M5000 Series Performance
Accelerator Key.
