The Sun Blade X3-2B supports two host bus adapter (HBA) RAID expansion modules (REMs). REMs can be ordered with the server or ordered separately. Refer to Servicing Sun Blade X3-2B Components in Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Service Manual for instructions on installing the REMs and connecting hard drives.
The following table lists the available HBA Express Module disk controllers for the Sun Blade X3-2B and the RAID levels available for each controller.

Drives located in the Sun Blade X3-2B are considered to be in a separate "failure domain" from the drives that are in the Sun Blade Storage Module M2 disk enclosure. A failure domain is an enclosure or group of enclosures that connect to the drives in the same way.
Because the Sun Blade X3-2B connects to the drives using a single wire and the Sun Blade Storage Module M2 connects to the drives using two wires, they are different failure domains. Thus:
The drives in different failure domains should not be part of the same RAID volume (or be hot spares for that volume).
Since two or more Sun Blade Storage Module M2 disk enclosures are considered to be in the same failure domain, RAID volumes and hot spares can be composed of drives from multiple storage modules.
Disks that only use a single wire (port) connection are not supported in the Sun Blade Storage Module M2 because it connects to disks using two wires. These unsupported drive types include SATA and SATA SSD drives. Both single wire and two wire drives are supported in the Sun Blade X3-2B.
