Dell EMC Power Store
Drive and OS Compatibility Matrix
To function properly, drives installed in a Dell EMC Power Store appliance require that the appliance be running the minimum required revision of the Power Store Operating Software (OS). This document lists the drive part numbers supported for Power Store appliances and the minimum software revisions required for each, if applicable.
Note: Dell EMC Power Store appliances use their own unique drive part numbers and ordering models. Moving or using expansion enclosures and/or drives from legacy storage products is not supported at this time.
