NOTE: If the license is limited for the number of disk drives in an array, the licensed limit will
be displayed next to the Device Types group heading.
Device Types
The type of physical disk, either Fast Class (FC), Near Line (NL), or
Solid State (SSD).
Device Type
The disk speed.Device RPM
NOTE: The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without
spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance difference between
the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to
both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an SSD drive, the number is to
be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second,
bandwidth, and the access time.
