Hi.
I bought a 25-bay HP DL380P G8 for my home server. I did not do enough research, and found that the non-HP drives were being failed out continuously. So fast, maybe 4 a day, that I finally lost my pool. I am taking care of that problem with an external drawer and an LSI HBA.
The question I have is, I now have 25 bays free, and a free HP P420i SAS card. I was looking on Newegg, and saw HP branded SSDs - S600, M700, S700, etc. Does anyone know if these SSD's would work in the smart carriers in ht HP DL380P, or would they be treated as non HP branded drives? I can buy a couple and try it, but was hoping someone knew. Thanks.
