I'm showing the only difference between these drives to be a 6Gbps connection vs a 12Gbps connection. The new drive won't be able to reach the full connection speed, but will still work fine as a substitute for the original drive. I am confused though, with both of these being SAS drives, did you have a question about SATA, or was that just a typo?
I have a running R720xd with a 4 TB SAS HDD, Product ID WD4001FYYG that needs to be replaced in a RAID array. The service tag says the Part Number is 400-26601. This PN is no longer available and the closest one I can find is the 400-ALRT. Is the new part number hot-swap compatible with the existing disks? Thanks.
