Frequently Asked Questions - Rocpro T24 Rocstor
What hard drives are compatible with the Rocstor Rocpro T24?
The Rocpro T24 supports enterprise-grade 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s hard drives. For best RAID performance, use identical drive models with 7200 rpm or higher.
How do I configure RAID on the Rocpro T24?
Log into the web-based storage manager and select Volume Manager. Create a new logical volume, choose a RAID level (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60), select member disks and confirm. You can also assign a hot spare from the same menu.
Which operating systems are supported by the Rocpro T24?
The enclosure works as a standard SAS/SATA block device. It is compatible with Windows Server, Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu), macOS and VMware ESXi when connected through a supported RAID controller or HBA.
What should I do if one drive in the array fails?
Check the front LED and management alerts, then replace the failed disk with a new pre-approved drive. If the RAID level has redundancy, the controller begins an automatic rebuild. Do not power off the array during the rebuild.
Can I expand the total capacity of the Rocpro T24 later?
Yes. You can replace existing drives with larger ones and perform online RAID migration or volume expansion. With 24 bays and current 16TB drives, the maximum raw capacity is approximately 384TB.
How often should I clean or replace the cooling fans?
Inspect the four hot-swappable fans monthly. Swap any fan whose speed has dropped or whose warning alarm is triggered. Clean the air filters every 30 days in normal office conditions and more often in dusty environments.
Can I connect multiple Rocpro T24 units to one server?
Multiple JBOD enclosures can be daisy-chained using the second mini-SAS HD port on each unit, provided the host HBA supports SAS expanders. Each enclosure should have a unique port connection to maintain redundancy.
What power supply requirements should I plan for?
Use a grounded 100-240V AC source with surge protection. The Rocpro T24 has two 650W hot-swappable power supplies; plug each PSU into a separate UPS circuit for full redundancy.
Can the Rocpro T24 be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes, it is a 4U rackmount chassis supplied with adjustable rails. It fits standard 19-inch racks and supports rack depths of 600mm to 1000mm. Leave front and rear clearance for cooling.
How do I access the Rocpro T24 management interface?
Open a browser and enter the controller IP address using HTTP or HTTPS. Use the login details from the label or quick-start guide. For scripts, SSH and the CLI are available; the front LCD also displays alerts and settings.
