Suggested Answer: A, B

Check Drive Capacity:

Step: Ensure that the new drives are of the same capacity or larger than the existing drives in the DDP.

Reason: Consistent drive capacity ensures optimal performance and utilization.


Verify Security Type:

Step: Confirm that the new drives have a compatible security type (e.g., FDE, FIPS) with the existing drives.

Reason: Incompatible security types can lead to configuration issues or reduced security.

I thought the firmware level was crucial, but I can't remember if the manufacturer plays a significant role in this scenario.

I remember something about compatibility, but I can't recall if the manufacturer matters as much as the firmware.

I think we need to ensure the drives are the same capacity or larger, but I'm not entirely sure about the firmware level.
