Hello halimzhz,

Here Henry from Intel Support, related to your question about the max HDD storage for the S5000VSA.

First, let me provide you with some information on the system, according to the system model, is under EOIS, you can verify this on the following pages:

https://ark.intel.com/products/46535/Intel-Server-Board-S5000VSASATAR https://ark.intel.com/products/46535/Intel-Server-Board-S5000VSASATAR

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000020015/server-products.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000020015/server-products.html

I am going to try and find as much information to help you with your question.

I also invite you to move the thread to the Discontinued section of the Community for the current interaction or future ones.

Checking the TPS - https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/s5000vsa/sb/d36978010_s5000vsa_tps_r1_9.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/s5000vsa/sb/d36978010_s5000vsa_tps_r1_9.pdf

It used HDD up to 300GB at that moment. But I've read on other posts that they have used 1 TB HDD's.

Here the best option will be to get at least one HDD of 1 TB or even 2 TB and test it.

I am going to verify if we have any documents that can support the usage of the size HDD.

If there is anything else we can help please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Henry A.

Hello halimzhz,

I really understand and I am still looking for a similar system. But I am afraid is not available for testing. And at this moment there is nothing we can do at this moment.

I wish I had some other news, the only option is to see if some has a the HDD that you need and allow you to use it for testing.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Best regards,

Henry A.
