We have mixed SSD SAS and normal SAS connected to LSI adapters in a bunch of other vendors (Supermicro, etc..). The problem I have run into is that Dell will not quote me this configuration. We have run with a mixture of these drives by adding SSD SAS drives into a chassis with nearline SAS before but they were not shipped by Dell in that configuration. So I think this is more a configuration Dell has been unwilling to sell is all. Thanks, derek -- Derek T.
