Two hard drive questions for Dell PowerEdge T140 using ODD SATA

TrueNAS General

Hi,

I’m new to the forum and TrueNAS. I’ve just purchased a Dell PE without any drives installed. It has 4 drive bays for 3.5 HDD, and an optical drive that has a separate SATA connector on the motherboard. My two questions are:

  1. Can I use the ODD SATA connector for a hard drive, taking the total to 5?
  2. Does the T140 support drives with the Power Disable feature? I was looking at these made by HGST: HUH721212ALE601 0F29596

Thank you.

Neil
