We've got a DL380p Gen8 with 16 slots for 2.5" drives, and we're running out of storage space.
So what I'm looking at doing is replacing all of the current drives (some are 300GB, some 600) with larger capacity drives and also adding a D2700 enclosure for additional capacity.
My question is: If we're using a 6GB/s D2700 and SAS drives in all of the above, does it matter what logical drives and such are in the server as opposed to the enclosure?
It seems to me that the SAS drives in the server will each have their own channel running at the full 6 GB/s, whereas the drives in the enclosure will have to share a connection back to the server at 6GB/s?
