Indrp, You are correct that only certain drives are tested and supported in the MD arrays. Below is a link that will take you to one of the manuals that list all of the supported hard drives for the MD 1200 and MD1220. ftp.dell.com/.../powervault-md1200_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf Please let me know if you have any further questions as I would be happy to help out.
Hi, I was asked if NL-SAS drieves from Seagate (ST4000NM0023) can be used in following setup. Dell MD1200 + Perc H710 + PowerEdge R720XD. The answer I gave them was - this needs to be tested. Because in the documentation it is stated that Dell branded hard drives have to be used. I know that certain Perc controllers will give a warning each time if non-dell drives are used but they work without problems. Is it the same case when using an MD1200 box? Regards, Indrek
