Hello Roberto, So when the drive is not on the support matrix then in most cases it will not work. The Part# that you provided is for a 12gb 1TB SAS. The MD3000i only supports 3gb 1TB SAS. Here are the Part# for some 1TB 3GB SAS Drives for your MD3000i: 8CGTN, CP464, G377T Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Hello, we add one HD ST1000NM0045 (labeled Dell) to expand a VirtualDisk on our md3000i. A few seconds after the disk is inserted (warm), the md3000i goes offline, the steady orange led means "reset state".Even with cold insert, same result. No led blinks on the disk. First thing I thought it was a compatibility problem, but cannot find the HD Support matrix anymore. Purchasing manager told me he bought those disk from Dell, stressing they are for an md3000i.Thank you. Roberto
