I have a FAS3140 with 4 DS14MK2 AT disk shelves attached to it in an FCAL loop. The shelves have 1TB SATA disks. We're thinking of adding a SAS add-on card and a DS4243 disk shelf to it with 24 x 1TB SATA disks. Question is, will I be able to add the disks on the DS4243 to my already existing aggregates on the DS14MK2 shelves, or will I have to create new aggregates on the DS4243. In other words, can an aggregate be composed of same capacity disks from different disk shelf types (DS14MK2 AT &amp; DS4243)?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:15:35 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/One-Aggergate-across-Disk-Shelves/m-p/76019#M5302 frank_iro 2025-06-05T06:15:35Z Re: One Aggergate across Disk Shelves? https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/One-Aggergate-across-Disk-Shelves/m-p/76024#M5304 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV><P>It's possible, but not recommended - new SATA disks have better performance characteristics thanks to native command queueing.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Radek</P></DIV></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:02:42 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/One-Aggergate-across-Disk-Shelves/m-p/76024#M5304 radek_kubka 2012-11-09T09:02:42Z Re: One Aggergate across Disk Shelves? https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/One-Aggergate-across-Disk-Shelves/m-p/76032#M5307 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the info Radek</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:14:53 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/One-Aggergate-across-Disk-Shelves/m-p/76032#M5307 frank_iro 2012-11-09T09:14:53Z
