If Your Storage Array Runs on 10TB Drives, Here Is the Migration That Doubles Capacity Without Adding a Single Drive Slot
A 12-bay server with 10TB drives yields 120 TB raw. The same server with 20TB Toshiba MG10 drives yields 240 TB raw — double the capacity, same drive count, same SAS ports, same power budget. No JBOD, no expander, no additional rack space.
Migration Checklist: 10TB to 20TB
- Verify RAID controller firmware supports 20TB+ drives. PERC H730/H740/H750/H755/H965i all support 20TB with firmware from 2022 onward. LSI 93xx/94xx/96xx require v16.00.00.00 or later.
- Plan for rebuild time. A 20TB RAID 6 rebuild takes 28-32 hours at 200 Mo/s. Schedule during a maintenance window.
- Replace one drive at a time or build a new array. For production, build a new RAID 10 array with 20TB drives and migrate VMs via storage migration.
- Expand the filesystem after adding capacity. Installing drives does not automatically expand the datastore or volume.
- Keep 2 cold-spare 20TB drives on hand. A failure during a 30-hour rebuild is low-probability but high-consequence.
