Unpopulated bays ship with a blank drive carrier which can be replaced with a drive module at any time - even if the server or RAID is running - so its easy to add storage capacity as your server and storage needs grow. Xserve RAID scales in performance and capacity with the addition of ADM hard drives.

Each ADM has two LED activity lights - one indicating drive activity and one indicating drive status. All Apple Drive Modules support SMART - Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology - allowing the hardware monitoring tools included with Xserve and Xserve RAID to monitor the status of each hard drive and report pre-failure warnings before problems occur.
