HP 349239-B21 250GB Hotswap SATA
The HP option number 349239-B21 is the hotswap 250GB SATA drive. If you
order using that number you can end up with Maxtor or Western Digital, different spare numbers, and maybe other makes as well. Is it really safe to build logical arrays with MSA1500 that mix and match different manufacturers in a single logical array? I really wish they would give you a straightforward way to standardize on a manufaturer. -- Will |

* Will:
The HP option number 349239-B21 is the hotswap 250GB SATA drive. If you order using that number you can end up with Maxtor or Western Digital, different spare numbers, and maybe other makes as well. That's also the case with other disk drives. I.e. the SCSI hot swap drives for Proliant. When replacing a drive I usually get Seagate but also got Fujitsu. Of course this is understandable as HP like any other system vendor doesn't want to be dependent on only one disk drive vendor, so they buy from several sources. There is no problem with it as long as the quality level remains the same. Is it really safe to build logical arrays with MSA1500 that mix and match different manufacturers in a single logical array? Yes, it is. I really wish they would give you a straightforward way to standardize on a manufaturer. Which would mean they are totally dependent on this manufacturer which probably will affect system costs and availability of spare parts as well. Benjamin |

As long as it's got HP firmware and is tested to HP stadards, it's fine. You may well find newer drives are RoHS compliant - different part number.

Yes I really wish they would give you a straightforward way to standardize on a manufaturer. No big deal. Don't worry about it. |
