    HP Gen8 Server - will HP branded consumer SSDs work in the bays

    So, that is why I created this thread in the first place. My Seagate 4TB 2.5" drives were being continuously failed out. Most of them were good. I tested on another server. I put 9 HP SSD's in there, in the 2.5" bays in the server, and have had no problems with those. They make a fine L2ARC...

    HP Gen8 Server - will HP branded consumer SSDs work in the bays

    Thanks for the info. I was almost sure it was the smart carriers/backplane. I have an external disk drawer now, so I will use that rather than ship it back.

    HP Gen8 Server - will HP branded consumer SSDs work in the bays

    Thanks for the info. I researched this thing for a while, and never came across the smart carrier thing. I don't need server class. I would use it for a ZFS pool for MySQL for home use.

    HP Gen8 Server - will HP branded consumer SSDs work in the bays

    P.S. I have tested the failed drives in another system, and they all check out. That's why I think the problem is the smart carriers/HP P420i.

    The Dell PowerEdge C6220 Thread

    I was wondering if anyone tried putting an SSD inside the sled, attached to one of the SATA ports on the board, and powered by the USB2.0 port on the board? I would like to try fitting one in to give me 1 extra drive per storage pool, but was wondering about heat. I could put it on plastic...

    The Dell PowerEdge C6220 Thread

    I have a question about the dynamic disk bay reallocation on the C6220 II. I found the Powerpoint prestentation packaged with the software. It shows reseting back to a 4 node, 6 drive system, and it shows setting up a 2 node 12 drive system. Is it possible to set up 4 nodes with different...
