I see your question was maybe specifically for 3.5" SSD's? It will take 3.5" SAS and SATA, so there is no reason why a 3.5" SSD wouldn't work. Dell doesn't do 3.5" SSD's; they do 2.5" SSD's in 3.5" "hybrid" carriers for 3.5" slots ... if you are talking supported/certified drives. If you are talking about third-party drives, Dell doesn't guarantee ANY third party drives will work, regardless of type/protocol.
The manual does NOT say SSD's are not supported on 3.5" backplanes, but says that the 2.5" backplane supports SSD. If you want to see a real-world example, configure an R710 online; you will be able to configure SSD's on either a 2.5" backplane or a 3.5" backplane (2.5" drive in hybrid carrier).
, i havent much experience in dell storage , but assume that i want to replace my 6 sas hardisks with ssd , what i need to do ?? do i need another specific hardware ???
what i need to do if i want to replace only 2 hards of sas with ssd , " i mean 4 sas & "2 ssd" " ?
my request is just only i want to increase the performance of my server .
