ETERNUS8000 and ETERNUS4000 both support flexible disk drive deployment for applications requiring high-speed, highly-reliable Fibre Channel disks for online use, plus large capacity, low-cost Nearline SATA disk drive for backup and archiving. As you can mix these disk drives in the same drive enclosure, you avoid purchasing additional drive enclosures until there is no unused space left in your existing drive enclosures.
