Sue, Is this really a 5886 statement? As I think about it, this is the only way you would actually be able to physically connect a 3.5" drive to a POWER8. If true this makes the rule much easier to explain to customers.

Power8 can use the SSDs, not exactly sure which SSDs.

POWER8 cannot use any 3.5" SSDs or HDDs ... specifically those
which go into the 5886 disk enclosure.
