The M6710 holds drives, supplies power and cooling to them, and presents them over SAS to the controller nodes of a 3PAR StoreServ array. It contains no storage controllers, no cache, and no management processor of its own. Connected to nothing, it does nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin a 3PAR estate, its role is capacity expansion. Adding an M6710 gives twenty-four additional small-form-factor bays without replacing controller nodes or migrating existing data, which is a substantially cheaper path to more capacity than a new array. The 2U footprint for twenty-four drives is efficient where rack space is at a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is the thing to verify carefully before purchasing. The M6710 is matched to specific 3PAR StoreServ generations and controller node types, and enclosure compatibility within the 3PAR family is not universal. Confirm the enclosure is supported by your exact array model and firmware level before ordering, and note that drives, caddies, and rails all need to be sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
