B . 14
C . 20
D . 28

Answer: B

Explanation:

The SC180 enclosure can be connected to a SCv2080 to add additional storage beyond the base unit capacity.

• The maximum number of drives that can be part of a SCv2080 as of SCOS release 7.1 is 168.

• The SC180 enclosure contains 84 drive slots.

• The minimum number of spinning (HDDs) or solid state (SSD) drives in an SC180 is 28. Drives can only be added in increments of 14.

• The SC180 is only supported as an expansion unit with the SCv2080.

• They are not sold separately.

• If you are familiar with the SC280 enclosure, the SC180 is similar but the enclosures are not interchangeable.

• The SC280 can be sold separately but only works with an SC4020, SC8000 or SC9000.

• It will not work on a SCv2080.
