[1] The DS4246 disk shelf currently only supports "Mixed Shelf" SSD configurations that combine SSDs with high-capacity disk drives.

[2] Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) cannot be mixed with non-encrypting HDDs in the same storage system. SnapLock, MetroCluster, and clustered Data ONTAP 8 are not supported with SEDs.
