Hello. Whereas Dell branded WD NAS hard drives will work fine, I suggest that you go the enterprise class drives that designed for 24x7 server operations.
I am considering the purchase of the poweredge t430. I would like to know if I can use my own hard drives (wd nas 3tb), This would save a wad of cash for me. I intend to use the server for back up of all my devices (6) and also to access them from anywhere. Very new to this type of computing and no very little. I do build my own systems and do have a good deal of knowledge for single builds. I have been back and forward to Dell configuring a T430 and the raid configuration is a bit confusing!
