Hello,   You cannot use standard OEM drives in that array.  Even though they may show same part # and firmware they are not the same.  EQL drives, require a custom image that can't be copied onto a standard drive. They are manufactured that way.  So that drive will never function as a spare drive if you have another failure.   You need to purchase a used EQL drive from a 3rd party.   Regards, Don  
Hello, My problem is about a PS4000 with 16 HD (ST3600057SS, 15 K CHEETAH Dell Equallogic) In The Last 3 month, i ve to replace two ST3600057SS by a new ones (Faulty HD detected). I thought every thing runned fine, but now i notice a new warning about not approved disks. I dont now which HD are concerned. When I look the hard drive view, i can see that the revision of the drive - EN01 for the 14 HD (unchanged) - EN03 and ES65 for replaced. But no others Errors. All the disque are On line, and the ES65 is reserved. I Want to identify the not approved disk and understand why ? Can you Help ?
